Solve for h. 16 + 18h + 14h = -14 – 7(-6h + 20) h =

To solve for ( h ) in the equation ( 16 + 18h + 14h = -14 – 7(-6h + 20) ), follow these steps:

1. Combine like terms on both sides:

– On the left side, combine ( 18h ) and ( 14h ):

[

16 + 32h = -14 – 7(-6h + 20)

]

2. Distribute on the right side:

– Distributing ( -7 ):

[

-7(-6h) + (-7)(20) = 42h – 140

]

– Now, the equation looks like:

[

16 + 32h = -14 + 42h – 140

]

– Simplify the right side:

[

-14 – 140 = -154 quad Rightarrow quad 16 + 32h = 42h – 154

]

3. Move all ( h ) terms to one side:

– Subtract ( 32h ) from both sides:

[

16 = 42h – 32h – 154

]

– This simplifies to:

[

16 = 10h – 154

]
