Question

What move can you make to both sides of the equation to get rid of the −2h on the right, so that all the h terms are on the left side of the equation?
1
5 (12h+8)
10
2
=
−2h+6

12h+8
2
=
−2h+6

6h + 4
=
−2h+6

Subtract 2h from both sides

Multiply each side by 2h

Divide each side by 2h

Add 2h to each side

Answer 1

To get rid of the \(-2h\) on the right side of the equation and move all \(h\) terms to the left side, you should **add \(2h\) to both sides** of the equation. This will help consolidate all the \(h\) terms on the left side.

So, the correct move is:

**Add \(2h\) to each side.**
