Solve for h -13=-h-7

$- 13 = - h - 7$

Step 1

Rewrite the equation as $- h - 7 = - 13$ .

$- h - 7 = - 13$

Step 2

Move all terms not containing $h$ to the right side of the equation.

Add $7$ to both sides of the equation.

$- h = - 13 + 7$

Add $- 13$ and $7$ .

$- h = - 6$

Step 3

Divide each term in $- h = - 6$ by $- 1$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $- h = - 6$ by $- 1$ .

$\frac{- h}{- 1} = \frac{- 6}{- 1}$

Simplify the left side.

Dividing two negative values results in a positive value.

$\frac{h}{1} = \frac{- 6}{- 1}$

Divide $h$ by $1$ .

$h = \frac{- 6}{- 1}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $- 6$ by $- 1$ .

$h = 6$
