Write down the system: Write down the given system of equations.We have the system of equations:15.3+1h=1.3−1hWe need to solve for h.
Combine like terms: Combine like terms by moving the variable h to one side of the equation.To do this, we add 1h to both sides of the equation to get h on one side:15.3+1h+1h=1.3−1h+1hThis simplifies to:15.3+2h=1.3
Isolate the variable: Isolate the variable h by moving the constant term to the other side of the equation.To do this, we subtract 15.3 from both sides of the equation:15.3+2h−15.3=1.3−15.3This simplifies to:2h=−14
Solve for h: Solve for h by dividing both sides of the equation by the coefficient of h.To find h, we divide both sides by 2:22h=2−14This simplifies to:h=−7
