Simplify −5+34(8h+12)−10h .(1 point)

1 answer

To simplify the expression, we need to distribute the 34 to the terms inside the parentheses:

−5 + 34(8h + 12) − 10h = −5 + 272h + 408 − 10h

Now we can combine like terms:

−5 + 272h + 408 − 10h = (272h - 10h) + (-5 + 408)

The like terms inside the parentheses are:

272h - 10h = 262h

And the remaining terms are:

-5 + 408 = 403

Therefore, the simplified expression is:

262h + 403
