Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around solving for the variable h2 in a given equation. Participants explore different interpretations of the equation and provide assistance in rearranging it. The focus is primarily on mathematical reasoning and problem-solving techniques.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related
  • Mathematical reasoning

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses difficulty in rearranging the equation to solve for h2 and seeks help.
  • Another participant questions the correct interpretation of the equation, presenting two possible forms: one with h2 in the denominator and one without.
  • A participant confirms that the correct interpretation is the second form, clarifying that only the 7.0599 is negative.
  • Further, a participant provides a rearranged version of the equation based on the confirmed interpretation and asks if the original poster can proceed from there.
  • The original poster later indicates that they have managed to solve the equation, thanking others for their help.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the correct interpretation of the equation, but there is some back-and-forth regarding the initial setup. The discussion appears to resolve with the original poster successfully solving the problem.

Contextual Notes

There are potential ambiguities in the equation's initial presentation, which could lead to different interpretations. The discussion does not fully explore all mathematical steps involved in the solution.

I know that a lot of people are going to be thinking that I'm really thick but for some reason I can't re-arrange the equation below what I want to find out is the value of h2. If anyone could help I would be very grateful

0.87 = -7.0599/191.83-h2

Thanks again and I feel sooooooo stupid

Is it
[tex]0.87 = -\frac{7.0599}{191.83}-h2[/tex]

Or
[tex]0.87 = -\frac{7.0599}{191.83-h2}[/tex]


heck it is an easy pro
[zz)]

for 1) 0.87 = -0.0368-h2
for 2) -7.0599/0.87 = 191.83-h2

Its the second one
But its just the 7.0599 that's negative

Yes it is Haven't u reached the conclusion yet[?]
 
Since [tex]0.87 = -\frac{7.0599}{191.83-h2}[/tex],

(0.87)(1.91.83- h2)= -7.0599.

Can you do it from there?
 
Sorry that I didn't replay earlier as I've been having trouble with my ISP, thanks for everyones help and I did manage to solve it
