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
$$0.87 = -\frac{7.0599}{191.83}-h2$$

Or
$$0.87 = -\frac{7.0599}{191.83-h2}$$

heck it is an easy pro
[zz)]

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

Staff Emeritus
Since $$0.87 = -\frac{7.0599}{191.83-h2}$$,

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

Can you do it from there?
