Evaluate the expression for h = –8. Simplify your answer.

h + 16
h
=

1 answer

To evaluate the expression \( \frac{h + 16}{h} \) for \( h = -8 \), we can substitute \( h \) with \(-8\):

\[ \frac{-8 + 16}{-8} \]

Now, simplify the expression step by step:

  1. Calculate \( -8 + 16 \): \[ -8 + 16 = 8 \]

  2. Substitute back into the expression: \[ \frac{8}{-8} \]

  3. Simplify \( \frac{8}{-8} \): \[ \frac{8}{-8} = -1 \]

Therefore, the simplified answer is

\[ \boxed{-1} \]
