Evaluate the expression for h = –6.

Question

Write your answer as a decimal or whole number.

–2 − 2h =

Answer 1

To evaluate the expression \(-2 - 2h\) for \(h = -6\), we first substitute \(-6\) for \(h\):

\[ -2 - 2(-6) \]

Now, calculate the product:

\[ -2 - 2 \times -6 = -2 + 12 \]

Now, simplify the expression:

\[ -2 + 12 = 10 \]

So the final answer is:

\[ \boxed{10} \]
