Chapter SH, Problem 2.25EP

To determine

To solve the equation for the variable $h$

Answer to Problem 2.25EP

  $h=\frac{y}{w}+5$

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Given expression $y=w(h-5)$

Formula used:

Calculation: opening bracket on the right hand side

  $y=wh-5w$

Adding 5w on the both sides

  $y+5w=wh-5w+5w$

Solving it further

  $y+5w=wh$

Dividing by w on the both sides

  $\frac{y}{w}+5=h$

Therefore the value for the variable h

  $h=\frac{y}{w}+5$
