Question 202755
Need help with this symbol manipulation problem please.
S=2B+Ph
Solve for h. 
My try: 2B/Ph
h=2B?


Close.  You sort of lost track of your "S" variable.  Keep thinking: "How can I isolate the "h"?"  


So, here's the problem.......


S = 2B+ Ph   You have a +2B so let's subtract it from both sides......


Now you have:



S - 2B = Ph  Now how do we isolate the "h"?  Well, you are multiplying between the P and the h.  Sooooo, to sort of "get rid" of the P, you have to figure out how to "un-do" the multiplying between the P and the h.  What is the OPPOSITE of multiplying?  Try DIVIDING.



S-2B/P = h



Does this make sense to you?  I hope so....
