Simplify −5 + 3-4 ( 8 h + 12 ) − 10 h

Question

.(1 point)

Answer 1

To simplify the expression \(-5 + 3 - 4(8h + 12) - 10h\), follow these steps:

1. Distribute \(-4\) to both terms inside the parentheses: \[ -4(8h) + -4(12) = -32h - 48 \]

2. Substitute this back into the expression: \[ -5 + 3 - 32h - 48 - 10h \]

3. Combine the constant terms: \[ -5 + 3 - 48 = -50 \]

4. Combine the \(h\) terms: \[ -32h - 10h = -42h \]

5. Put everything together: \[ -50 - 42h \]

So the simplified expression is: \[ -42h - 50 \]
