Question

Write the expression in standard form 3h-2(1+4h)

Answer 1

3h - 2(1 + 4h)
Multiply the bracket by -2:

3h -2 - 8h

Then, subtract the variables.

3h - 8h - 2

-5h - 2

∴The answer is -5h - 2

Answer 2

-5h-2

Explanation:

Hi, the standard form of an expression is the sum of one constant term and one term for each variable in the expression.

In this case, we have one variable (h). So, we have to simplify the expression.

3h-2 (1+4h)

Applying distributive property:

3h -2(1) -2(4h)

3h -2 -8h

Adding alike terms:

3h-8h -2

-5h-2

The standard form is -5h-2
