Solve one-sixth h minus two-thirds equals negative one-fourth for h.

Question

a) h equals two and one-half

b) h equals negative eleven seventy-seconds

c)h equals negative five and one-half

d) h equals five seventy-seconds

Answer 1

One-sixth h minus two-thirds equals negative one-fourth

The equation is h/6 - 2/3 = -1/4

(h - 4)/6 = -1/4

Cross multiplication.

4(h -4) = -1(6)

4h - 16 = -6

4h = -10

h = -5/2

h = -5(1/2)

h equals negitive five and one - half.

Option C is correct choice.
