Solve for h h/-3+2=1

$\frac{h}{- 3} + 2 = 1$

Step 1

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$- \frac{h}{3} + 2 = 1$

Step 2

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

Subtract $2$ from both sides of the equation.

$- \frac{h}{3} = 1 - 2$

Subtract $2$ from $1$ .

$- \frac{h}{3} = - 1$

Step 3

Multiply both sides of the equation by $- 3$ .

$- 3 (- \frac{h}{3}) = - 3 \cdot - 1$

Step 4

Simplify both sides of the equation.

Simplify the left side.

Simplify $- 3 (- \frac{h}{3})$ .

Cancel the common factor of $3$ .

Move the leading negative in $- \frac{h}{3}$ into the numerator.

$- 3 \frac{- h}{3} = - 3 \cdot - 1$

Factor $3$ out of $- 3$ .

$3 (- 1) \frac{- h}{3} = - 3 \cdot - 1$

Cancel the common factor.

$3 \cdot - 1 \frac{- h}{3} = - 3 \cdot - 1$

Rewrite the expression.

$- - h = - 3 \cdot - 1$

Multiply.

Multiply $- 1$ by $- 1$ .

$1 h = - 3 \cdot - 1$

Multiply $h$ by $1$ .

$h = - 3 \cdot - 1$

Simplify the right side.

Multiply $- 3$ by $- 1$ .

$h = 3$
