Subtract the terms

More Steps

Evaluate

2 h - 6 h

Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients

(2 - 6) h

Subtract the numbers

- 4 h

- 4 h + 5

- 4 h + 5 = - 1

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

- 4 h = - 1 - 5

Subtract the numbers

- 4 h = - 6

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

4 h = 6

Divide both sides

\frac{4 h}{4} = \frac{6}{4}

Divide the numbers

h = \frac{6}{4}

Solution

h = \frac{3}{2}

Alternative Form

h = 1.5
