Solution

Solution Steps

To solve the equation $7(h-3) = 35$, we can start by distributing the 7 to both terms inside the parentheses. Then, we can isolate $h$ by performing basic algebraic operations.

Solution Approach

Distribute the 7 to both terms inside the parentheses.
Simplify the equation.
Isolate $h$ by adding or subtracting terms and then dividing by the coefficient of $h$.

Step 1: Distribute the 7

We start with the equation: \[ 7(h - 3) = 35 \] Distributing the 7 gives us: \[ 7h - 21 = 35 \]

Step 2: Isolate $h$

Next, we add 21 to both sides of the equation: \[ 7h - 21 + 21 = 35 + 21 \] This simplifies to: \[ 7h = 56 \]

Step 3: Solve for $h$

Now, we divide both sides by 7 to isolate $h$: \[ h = \frac{56}{7} \] This simplifies to: \[ h = 8 \]
