What is the answer for 2(5h-2)=8h

2 = h

Explanation:

In order to solve this equation, we have to find the value that represents h. To do so, we have to isolate the h.

2(5h - 2) = 8h

The first step is to distribute the 2 to both values inside the parentheses

10h - 4 = 8h

Now, subtract 10h from both sides to get h on one side

-4 = -2h

Divide both sides by -2 to isolate h

2 = h

We can check to make sure this value is correct by plugging it back in to the equation.

2(5(2) - 2) = 8(2)

2(10 - 2) = 16

2(8) = 16

16 = 16
