Write an equation that models the following statement:

17 less than h equals 42

• 17-h=42

• h-17=42

• h+17=42

• 17+h=42

Which choice describes the step needed to isolate the variable? (Tap outside of the gray box to see the equation.)

• Divide both sides by 11
• Multiply both sides by 11.
• Add 11 to both sides.
• Subtract 11 to both sides.
