Here it goes
If x=3+5h and y=3h-5, for what value of h will x=2y.......please help 😕

 

[drat]

Plug 2y for x:
2y = 3 + 5h
y = 3h - 5

Then solve for h by getting rid of the y's (multiply the second equation by -2)
2y = 3 + 5h
-2y = 10 - 6h

Simplify:

0 = 13 - h
bring the h over

h = 13

This the right answer??
