Question

Evaluate the expression for g = 0.1 and h = –5.

Write your answer as a decimal or whole number.

–5.6h − 6g =

Answer 1

To evaluate the expression \(-5.6h - 6g\) for \(g = 0.1\) and \(h = -5\), we can substitute the values of \(g\) and \(h\) into the expression:

\[
-5.6(-5) - 6(0.1)
\]

Now calculate each part:

1. Calculate \(-5.6(-5)\):
\[
-5.6 \times -5 = 28
\]

2. Calculate \(-6(0.1)\):
\[
-6 \times 0.1 = -0.6
\]

Now combine the results:
\[
28 - 0.6 = 27.4
\]

Thus, the value of the expression is:
\[
\boxed{27.4}
\]
