Q. Rewrite in simplest terms: −7(4h−4k)−k−6(10k+6h)Answer:
Distribute −7: Distribute −7 into the first set of parentheses: −7×4h gives −28h, and −7×−4k gives +28k.Calculation: −7(4h−4k)=−28h+28k
Distribute −6: Distribute −6 into the second set of parentheses: −6×10k gives −60k, and −6×6h gives −36h.Calculation: −6(10k+6h)=−60k−36h
Combine like terms: Combine like terms: −28h with −36h gives −64h, and 28k with −60k gives −32k. Then, subtract k from −32k to get −33k.Calculation: −28h−36h=−64h and −36h0
Write final expression: Write the final simplified expression by combining the terms from the previous step.Calculation: −64h−33k
