Exercise 37 Page 106

Gather all of the variable terms on one side of the equation and all of the constant terms on the other side. Start by using the Distributive Property.

No solution

Practice makes perfect

To solve an equation, we should first gather all of the variable terms on one side and all of the constant terms on the other side using the Properties of Equality. In this case, we need to start by using the Distributive Property to simplify the left-hand side of the equation.

1/2h+1/3(h-6)=5/6h+2

Distr

Distribute 1/3

1/2h+1/3h-1/3(6)=5/6h+2
