Question

Solve each of the following equations by using inverse operations.

$\mathrm{h}+8=-12$

Answer 1

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{h}+8=-12$

Adding $-8$ on both sides

$$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow \mathrm{h}+8+(-8)=-12+(-8) \\ \Rightarrow h+8-8=-12-8 \\ \Rightarrow h=-20 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the solution is $\mathrm{h}=-20$
