Answer:
Therefore, the simplified expression is 20.3h - 72
Explanation:
First, distribute -9 to each term inside the parentheses:
-9 * (-0.7h) - 9 * (-2h) - 9 * 8 - 2h
Simplifying:
6.3h + 18h - 72 - 2h
Combine like terms:
(6.3h + 18h - 2h) - 72
Simplifying:
22.3h - 2h - 72
Combine like terms:
(22.3h - 2h) - 72
Simplifying:
20.3h - 72
