Solve the equation 74=h+58 using inverse operations.

1 answer

To solve the equation 74 = h + 58 using inverse operations, we want to isolate the variable h on one side of the equation.

To do this, we first need to get rid of the 58 on the right-hand side of the equation. Since 58 is added to h, we can use the inverse operation of addition, which is subtraction, to eliminate it.

Subtracting 58 from both sides of the equation, we have:

74 - 58 = h + 58 - 58

This simplifies to:

16 = h

Therefore, the solution to the equation is h = 16.
