What is the equation 22-2h=-5?

h = - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

5h + 22 + - 2h = - 5

Reorder the terms:

22 + 5h + - 2h = - 5

Combine like terms: 5h + - 2h = 3h

22 + 3h = - 5

Solving

22 + 3h = - 5

Solving for variable 'h'.

Move all terms containing h to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-22' to each side of the equation.

22 + - 22 + 3h = - 5 + - 22

Combine like terms: 22 + - 22 = 0

0 + 3h = - 5 + - 22

3h = - 5 + - 22

Combine like terms: - 5 + - 22 = - 27

3h = - 27

Divide each side by '3'.

h = - 9

Simplifying

h = - 9
