Simplify −5+3/4(8h+12)−10h
To simplify the expression −5+3/4(8h+12)−10h, we will perform the operations in the given order.
First, distribute 3/4 to 8h and 12:
−5 + 3/4 * 8h + 3/4 * 12 − 10h
Simplify the expression:
−5 + (6h) + (9/4) - 10h
Combine like terms:
(6h - 10h) + (-5 + 9/4)
Combine like terms:
-4h + (-20 + 9/4)
Combine the fractions:
-4h + (-80/4 + 9/4)
Combine the numbers and fractions:
-4h + (-71/4)
The simplified expression is -4h - 71/4.
that's wrong
Apologies for the mistake. Let's correct it.

wronggggg
Apologies once again. Let's correct it.
To simplify −5 + (3/4)(8h + 12) − 10h, we will perform the operations in the given order.
First, distribute (3/4) to (8h + 12):
−5 + (3/4)(8h) + (3/4)(12) − 10h
Simplify the expression:
−5 + (24/4)h + (36/4) − 10h
Combine like terms:
(24/4)h - 10h + (36/4) - 5
Combine like terms:
(24/4 - 40/4)h + (36/4 - 20/4)
Combine the fractions:
(24 - 40)/4h + (36 - 20)/4
Simplify the numerator and denominator:
(-16/4)h + 16/4
Simplify the fractions:
-4h + 4
The simplified expression is -4h + 4.
To simplify the expression −5+3/4(8h+12)−10h, we can follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS):
Step 1: Simplify within parentheses
8h + 12 remains the same as there are no like terms to combine.
−5 + 3/4(8h + 12) − 10h simplifies to −5 + 3/4(8h + 12) − 10h.
Step 2: Distribute the fraction (3/4) to the terms inside the parentheses.
(3/4) × 8h = (3/4)(8h) = 6h
(3/4) × 12 = (3/4)(12) = 9
−5 + 6h + 9 − 10h simplifies to −5 + 6h + 9 − 10h.
Step 3: Combine like terms with the same variables.
6h − 10h = -4h
−5 + 6h + 9 − 10h simplifies to −5h + 4.
Therefore, the simplified expression is −5h + 4.
To simplify the expression −5+3/4(8h+12)−10h, follow the order of operations (also known as PEMDAS/BODMAS):
Step 1: Simplify within parentheses
Inside the parentheses, we have 8h+12. We can't simplify it further, so we leave it as it is.
-5+3/4(8h+12)−10h becomes -5+3/4(8h+12)−10h
Step 2: Apply multiplication within the parentheses
We need to apply distribution to the term 3/4 times (8h+12). Multiply 3/4 by 8h and 3/4 by 12 separately.
-5+3/4 * 8h + 3/4 * 12 − 10h
Step 3: Simplify products
Multiply 3/4 by 8h to get (24h/4) which simplifies to 6h. And multiply 3/4 by 12 to get (36/4) which simplifies to 9.
-5 + 6h + 9 - 10h
Step 4: Combine like terms
Combine the terms that have the same variable (h) and the terms with only numbers.
(6h - 10h) + (-5 + 9)
Simplifying the terms, we get:
-4h + 4
Therefore, the simplified expression is -4h + 4.
