Step 1. Add 9 to both sides
[tex]-8(1+4h)=-17+9[/tex]
Step 2. Simplify [tex]-17+9[/tex] to [tex]-8[/tex]
[tex]-8(1+4h)=-8[/tex]
Step 3. Divide both sides by [tex]-8[/tex]
[tex]1+4h=1[/tex]
Step 4. Cancel 1 on both sides
[tex]4h=0[/tex]
Step 5. Divide both sides by 4
[tex]h=0[/tex]
Done! :) Hope this helps! :)
To check [tex]-9-8(1+4h)=-17[/tex] follow these steps below:
Step 1. Let h = 0
[tex]-9-8*(1+4*0)=-17[/tex]
Step 2. Simplify 4 * 0 to 0
[tex]-9-8*(1+0)=-17[/tex]
Step 3. Simplify 1 + 0 to 1
[tex]-9-8*1=-17[/tex]
Step 4. Simplify 8 * 1 to 8
[tex]-9-8=-17[/tex]
Step 5. Simplify -9 -8 to -17
[tex]-17=-17[/tex]
Done! :)
