Which procedure can be used to solve the equation [tex]16h = 384[/tex], and what is the solution?

A. Divide [tex]16h[/tex] by 16; the solution is 38.4.
B. Multiply [tex]16h[/tex] by 16; the solution is 38.4.
C. Divide both sides by 16; the solution is 24.
D. Multiply both sides by 16; the solution is 614.4.

Answer :

To solve the equation [tex]\(16h - 384 = 0\)[/tex], you can follow these steps:

1. Add 384 to both sides:
Start by isolating the term with the variable on one side of the equation. Add 384 to both sides, which will give you:
[tex]\[
16h = 384
\][/tex]

2. Divide both sides by 16:
To solve for [tex]\(h\)[/tex], divide both sides of the equation by 16:
[tex]\[
h = \frac{384}{16}
\][/tex]

3. Calculate:
Perform the division on the right side:
[tex]\[
h = 24
\][/tex]

So, the solution to the equation is [tex]\(h = 24\)[/tex].
