Bot GPT 4-o mini To simplify the expression \(-5 + 34(8h + 12) - 10\), follow these steps:
-
Distribute the 34 into the parentheses: \[ 34(8h + 12) = 34 \cdot 8h + 34 \cdot 12 = 272h + 408 \]
-
Substitute this back into the expression: \[ -5 + 272h + 408 - 10 \]
-
Combine the constant terms (-5, 408, and -10): \[ -5 + 408 - 10 = 393 \]
-
Now the expression is: \[ 272h + 393 \]
So the simplified expression is: \[ \boxed{272h + 393} \]
