Given the numerical equation:

-3(8 + 3h) = 5h + 4

Simplify.

Solution:

In order to simplify the given numerical equation, we simply distribute -3 to each value inside the parentehsis.

-3(8 + 3h) = 5h + 4

-24 + 24h = 5h + 4

Transpose -24 and  5h to their opposite sides of the equation. Hence, we must take note that in transposing a number, the sign changes.

 24h - 5h  = 24 + 4

19h = 28

= 19h - 28

Final answer:

= 19h - 28
