Take the equation first, 6(h+4)=2h multiply 6 ----> 6h+24 = 2h subtract 24 on both sides --> 6h=2h-24 subtract 2h on both sides --> 6h-2h=-24 4h=-24 divide both sides by 4 ---> h= -6
6(h+4)=2h 6h+24=2h distribute left hand side 6h-2h+24=2h-2h subtract 2h on both sides 4h+24-24=0-24 subtract 24 from both sides 4h/4=-24/4 divide 4 from both sides h=-6 solution
