Question

55h + 275 = 440

Do I subtract 55 from 275 ?

Answers

Ms. Sue
No.

Think about what that equation means. 55 times some number plus 275 = 440.

Subtract 275 from 440.

Then divide both sides by 55.

If you want to find h, you need to get it by itself. So, first subtract 275 from both sides of the equation:

55h + 275 = 440
55h = 165
Now, you have to divide by 55, so you wind up with just a single h:
h = 165/55
h = 3

Check your answer

55*3 + 275 = 165+275 = 440
