Solve for x.

4(h−7)−10=18

1 answer

To solve for x in the equation 4(h-7)-10=18, follow these steps:

1. Distribute the 4 to both terms within the parentheses:
4h - 28 - 10 = 18

2. Combine like terms by adding -28 and -10:
4h - 38 = 18

3. Move the constant term -38 to the other side by adding it to both sides of the equation:
4h = 18 + 38
4h = 56

4. Finally, solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 4:
h = 56/4
h = 14

Therefore, the solution to the equation is h = 14.
