Use the distributive property to multiply 10 by 2+b.
20+10b=-2h
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
10b=-2h-20
Subtract 20 from both sides.
\frac{10b}{10}=\frac{-2h-20}{10}
Divide both sides by 10.
b=\frac{-2h-20}{10}
Dividing by 10 undoes the multiplication by 10.
b=-\frac{h}{5}-2
Divide -2h-20 by 10.
-2h=20+10b
Use the distributive property to multiply 10 by 2+b.
-2h=10b+20
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-2h}{-2}=\frac{10b+20}{-2}
Divide both sides by -2.
h=\frac{10b+20}{-2}
Dividing by -2 undoes the multiplication by -2.
h=-5b-10
Divide 20+10b by -2.
