Simplify −5+3/4(8h+12)−10h .(1 point)

Answer 1

To simplify the expression, we can distribute 3/4 to both terms inside the parentheses:

-5 + (3/4)(8h + 12) - 10h
= -5 + (3/4)(8h) + (3/4)(12) - 10h

Next, we simplify the terms inside the parentheses:

= -5 + (3/4)(8h) + 9 - 10h

Now, we combine like terms:

= -5 + 6h + 9 - 10h

Finally, we combine the constant terms and the variable terms separately:

= (6h - 10h) + (-5 + 9)
= -4h + 4

The simplified expression is -4h + 4.
