rewrite in simplest terms -9(-0.7h - 2h + 8) - 2h
To rewrite the expression in simplest terms, we will simplify the calculations and combine like terms:
Start with: -9(-0.7h - 2h + 8) - 2h
First, distribute -9 to the terms inside the parentheses:
-9(-0.7h) - 9(-2h) - 9(8) - 2h
Simplify:
6.3h + 18h - 72 - 2h
Combine the h terms:
(6.3h + 18h - 2h) - 72
Combine like terms:
(6.3h + 16h) - 72
Combine h terms again:
22.3h - 72
So, the simplified expression is 22.3h - 72.
