Question

Evaluate the expression the quantity 3 plus 5, multiplied by, the quantity h minus k, divided by 4, when h = 4 and k = 12. A –16 B 8 C 20 D 29

Answer 1

A is the correct option.

Explanation:

We need to evaluate the expression 3 plus 5, multiplied by, the quantity h minus k, divided by 4, when h = 4 and k = 12. It can be written as :

`(3+5)* (h-k)/(4)`

Put h = 4 and k = 12 in above expression.

So,

`(3+5)* (h-k)/(4)=(3+5)* (4-12)/(4)\\\\=8* (-8)/(4)\\\\=2* -8\\\\=-16`

After solving we get that the value of the given expression is -16.
