I am struggling to remember my old algebra classes… :duh:

The explanation to this problem does not show the work and I am lost at the jump from Eqn 6 to Eqn 7. Could someone show me the work to isolate 'h'

Thanks

BTW
If you are really feeling industrious, you could continue on to show work to Eqn 11

To isolate h, you substract all terms without h from the equation, then devide by the factor in front of h

That's brillient! Thanks a bunch. Now that I see your answer… I'm sitting here going I should have seen that. lol, hind sight is always 20/20.

side note:
I love whatever program you used to write that with, it presents it so clear and concise.

If you're interested, it looks like LaTeX. It's pretty cool and fun to use if you're ever writing anything that mixes math and English (or whatever language you're using).
