To evaluate the expression \( gh - h \) for \( g = 4 \) and \( h = 7 \), we follow these steps:
-
Substitute the values of \( g \) and \( h \) into the expression: \[ gh - h = 4 \cdot 7 - 7 \]
-
Calculate \( 4 \cdot 7 \): \[ 4 \cdot 7 = 28 \]
-
Now substitute back into the expression: \[ 28 - 7 \]
-
Finally, perform the subtraction: \[ 28 - 7 = 21 \]
So, the value of the expression \( gh - h \) is \(\boxed{21}\).
