Which expression is equivalent to minus, 2, h, minus, 5, minus, 3, h, minus, 8−2h−5−3h−8?

Answer 1

To simplify the expression \(-2h - 5 - 3h - 8\), we can combine like terms.

1. Combine the \(h\) terms: \(-2h - 3h = -5h\)

2. Combine the constant terms: \(-5 - 8 = -13\)

Putting it all together, we have: \[ -2h - 5 - 3h - 8 = -5h - 13 \]

So the expression equivalent to \(-2h - 5 - 3h - 8\) is: \[ -5h - 13 \]
