Pieter wrote and solved an equation that models the number of hours it takes to dig a well to a level of 72 feet below sea level

It must be a positive number since it represents a number of hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Pieter's equation :

7h – 5(3h – 8) = –72

Opening up the bracket

7h - 15h + 40 = - 72

7h - 15h = - 72 - 40

-8h = - 112

Divide both sides by -8

-8h / -8 = - 112 / - 8

h = 14

Since, h represents the number of hours, and the value of h equals 14 (h cannot be negative), hence, option 2 is correct.
