Question

Simplify −5+34(8h+12)−10h.(1 point

Answer 1

It said it’s wrong

Answer 2

To simplify the expression \(-5 + 34(8h + 12) - 10h\), follow these steps:

1. Distribute the \(34\) to both terms inside the parentheses:
\[
34(8h) + 34(12) = 272h + 408.
\]

2. Substitute this back into the expression:
\[
-5 + 272h + 408 - 10h.
\]

3. Combine like terms, starting with the \(h\) terms:
\[
272h - 10h = 262h.
\]

4. Now combine the constant terms:
\[
-5 + 408 = 403.
\]

5. Putting it all together, we have:
\[
262h + 403.
\]

So, the simplified expression is:
\[
\boxed{262h + 403}.
\]

Answer 3

Let's go through the simplification step-by-step again to identify any potential mistakes:

We start with the expression:

\[
-5 + 34(8h + 12) - 10h
\]

1. **Distribute \(34\)** across the terms in parentheses:

\[
34 \times 8h + 34 \times 12 = 272h + 408
\]

So, we rewrite the expression:

\[
-5 + 272h + 408 - 10h
\]

2. **Combine the \(h\) terms**:

Combine \(272h - 10h\):

\[
272h - 10h = 262h
\]

3. **Combine the constant terms**:

Combine \(-5 + 408\):

\[
-5 + 408 = 403
\]

4. **Write the final expression**:

Now we gather everything:

\[
262h + 403
\]

Thus, upon verification, the simplified expression is indeed:

\[
\boxed{262h + 403}
\]
