Solve for x x/h+1=-2

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

Step 1

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

Subtract $1$ from both sides of the equation.

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

Subtract $1$ from $- 2$ .

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

Step 2

Multiply both sides by $h$ .

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

Step 3

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $h$ .

Cancel the common factor.

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

Rewrite the expression.

$x = - 3 h$
