How do I solve -4h=-20

-4h = -20

First, to get the solution for this answer, you must divide both sides by -4. Our goal is to get the variable (h) by itself on one side. Once you do get 'h' by itself, you will know what the value is. This step comes in handy when dealing with equations. "Property of Equations: do the same thing to the left that you would to the right." Divide both sides by -4. 


Second, although it seems like we're done, we're not. We now have to simplify the fraction. There are two ways to do this: ask yourself what multiplies with 4 to get 20, or divide 20 and 4. Either way, your answer should be 5 since (5 times 4 = 20).
