To answer this question, we can proceed as follows:
[tex]\frac{h}{2}+3.5=7.1[/tex]1. Subtract 3.5 to both sides of the equation:
[tex]\frac{h}{2}+3.5-3.5=7.1-3.5\Rightarrow\frac{h}{2}+0=3.6[/tex]2. Multiply by 2 to both sides of the equation:
[tex]2\cdot\frac{h}{2}=2\cdot3.6\Rightarrow h=7.2[/tex]We can check this result as follows:
[tex]\frac{7.2}{2}+3.5=3.6+3.5=7.1\Rightarrow7.1=7.1[/tex]This result is TRUE. Then, the value for h = 7.2.
