Question 991011: solve each literal equation for the indicated variable. Then substitute the values of the other variables into the derived expression and simplify.
Solve S = c(h + r)for h. Then evaluate the resulting expression to find h when S = 72(pie)in.(squared), c = 6(pie)inches, and r = 3 inches?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Solve S = c(h + r)for h.
divide both sides by c and write it as:
h + r = S%2Fc
Subtract r from both sides
h = S%2Fc - r
"
evaluate the resulting expression to find h when S = 72(pie)in.(squared), c = 6(pie)inches, and r = 3 inches
:
h = %2872%2Api%29%2F%286%2Api%29 - 3
Cancels to
h = 12 - 3
h = 9 inches
