Evaluate the expression for h = 30.

Question

Write your answer as a decimal or whole number.

–9 − 1.1h =

Answer 1

To evaluate the expression \(-9 - 1.1h\) for \(h = 30\), we can substitute 30 into the expression.

First, substitute \(h\) with 30:

\[ -9 - 1.1(30) \]

Next, calculate \(1.1 \times 30\):

\[ 1.1 \times 30 = 33 \]

Now substitute back into the expression:

\[ -9 - 33 \]

Finally, combine the terms:

\[ -9 - 33 = -42 \]

Thus, the value of the expression for \(h = 30\) is \(\boxed{-42}\).
