Is h = 12 a solution to this equation?

h − 11 = 2

1 answer

To determine if \( h = 12 \) is a solution to the equation \( h - 11 = 2 \), we substitute \( h \) with 12 in the equation:

\[ 12 - 11 = 2 \]

Now, simplify the left side:

\[ 1 = 2 \]

Since this statement is false, \( h = 12 \) is not a solution to the equation \( h - 11 = 2 \).
