Question

Make x the subject of h = 4(x + 3y) + 2

Plz help

Answer 1

Answer:

$x=\frac{h}{4}-3y-\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

This equation has "h" as the subject. Now, making "x" the subject means to use algebra and re-arrange the equation so we have "x = SOMETHING".

First, we will use distributive property on the RHS of the equation. The distributive property is:

$a(b+c)=ab+ac$

So, we have:

$h=4(x+3y)+2\\h=4x+12y+2$

Since we want "x" as the subject, we put "x" term on one side and everything else on another and solve for x. Shown below:

$h=4x+12y+2\\4x=h-12y-2\\x=\frac{h-12y-2}{4}\\x=\frac{h}{4}-3y-\frac{1}{2}$

This is the answer.
