Evaluate the expression for g = 0.1 and h = –5.

Question

Write your answer as a decimal or whole number.

–5.6h − 6g =

Answer 1

To evaluate the expression \(-5.6h - 6g\) for \(g = 0.1\) and \(h = -5\), we can substitute the values of \(g\) and \(h\) into the expression:

\[ -5.6(-5) - 6(0.1) \]

Now calculate each part:

1. Calculate \(-5.6(-5)\): \[ -5.6 \times -5 = 28 \]

2. Calculate \(-6(0.1)\): \[ -6 \times 0.1 = -0.6 \]

Now combine the results: \[ 28 - 0.6 = 27.4 \]

Thus, the value of the expression is: \[ \boxed{27.4} \]
