Solve 2(x+h)=z

$$2 ( x + h ) = z$$

Solve for h

$$h=\frac{z-2x}{2}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x+h.

$$2x+2h=z$$

Subtract 2x from both sides.

$$2h=z-2x$$

Divide both sides by 2.

$$\frac{2h}{2}=\frac{z-2x}{2}$$

Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.

$$h=\frac{z-2x}{2}$$

Divide z-2x by 2.

$$h=\frac{z}{2}-x$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{z-2h}{2}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x+h.

$$2x+2h=z$$

Subtract 2h from both sides.

$$2x=z-2h$$

Divide both sides by 2.

$$\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{z-2h}{2}$$

Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.

$$x=\frac{z-2h}{2}$$

Divide z-2h by 2.

$$x=\frac{z}{2}-h$$
