Simplify the expression:

-h²+5h²+-6h²

1 answer

To simplify the expression \(-h^2 + 5h^2 - 6h^2\), we can combine the like terms:

  1. Start with the coefficients of \(h^2\): \[ -1 + 5 - 6 \]

  2. Calculate it step by step: \[ -1 + 5 = 4 \] \[ 4 - 6 = -2 \]

  3. Thus, the combined coefficient of \(h^2\) is \(-2\).

Now, we can write the simplified expression: \[ -2h^2 \]

Therefore, the simplified expression is: \[ \boxed{-2h^2} \]
