Answer 1

30

Answer 2

Answer: h(8)= 30

Explanation:

Hi, to find the value of h(8) we simply have to replace the variable "x" by the value given (8).

Mathematically speaking:

h(x) = 5 (x − 2)

h(8) = 5 (8 − 2)

Applying distributive property:

h(8) = 5(8) - 5(2)

h(8) =40 -10

h(8) = 30

The value of h(8) is 30.
