Solve for h 250+20h=300

$250 + 20 h = 300$

Step 1

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

Subtract $250$ from both sides of the equation.

$20 h = 300 - 250$

Subtract $250$ from $300$ .

$20 h = 50$

Step 2

Divide each term in $20 h = 50$ by $20$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $20 h = 50$ by $20$ .

$\frac{20 h}{20} = \frac{50}{20}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $20$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{20 h}{20} = \frac{50}{20}$

Divide $h$ by $1$ .

$h = \frac{50}{20}$

Simplify the right side.

Cancel the common factor of $50$ and $20$ .

Factor $10$ out of $50$ .

$h = \frac{10 (5)}{20}$

Cancel the common factors.

Factor $10$ out of $20$ .

$h = \frac{10 \cdot 5}{10 \cdot 2}$

Cancel the common factor.

$h = \frac{10 \cdot 5}{10 \cdot 2}$

Rewrite the expression.

$h = \frac{5}{2}$

Step 3

The result can be shown in multiple forms.

Exact Form:

$h = \frac{5}{2}$

Decimal Form:

$h = 2.5$

Mixed Number Form:

$h = 2 \frac{1}{2}$
