9h-7=23%2B4h Start with the given equation.


9h=23%2B4h%2B7 Add 7 to both sides.


9h-4h=23%2B7 Subtract 4h from both sides.


5h=23%2B7 Combine like terms on the left side.


5h=30 Combine like terms on the right side.


h=%2830%29%2F%285%29 Divide both sides by 5 to isolate h.


h=6 Reduce.

Answer:

So the solution is h=6
