Solve for h h+3h+5h+3h-12=48

$h + 3 h + 5 h + 3 h - 12 = 48$

Step 1

Simplify $h + 3 h + 5 h + 3 h - 12$ .

Add $h$ and $3 h$ .

$4 h + 5 h + 3 h - 12 = 48$

Add $4 h$ and $5 h$ .

$9 h + 3 h - 12 = 48$

Add $9 h$ and $3 h$ .

$12 h - 12 = 48$

Step 2

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

Add $12$ to both sides of the equation.

$12 h = 48 + 12$

Add $48$ and $12$ .

$12 h = 60$

Step 3

Divide each term in $12 h = 60$ by $12$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $12 h = 60$ by $12$ .

$\frac{12 h}{12} = \frac{60}{12}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $12$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{12 h}{12} = \frac{60}{12}$

Divide $h$ by $1$ .

$h = \frac{60}{12}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $60$ by $12$ .

$h = 5$
