Solution

Let's tackle the problems from the image you uploaded.

Problem 6:

Expression: (6h+6)+(h10)(6h + 6) + (h - 10)

We can simplify this by:

  1. Removing the parentheses.
  2. Combining like terms.

(6h+6)+(h10)=6h+h+610(6h + 6) + (h - 10) = 6h + h + 6 - 10 =7h4= 7h - 4

So, the simplified expression is: 7h47h - 4


Problem 8:

Expression: 12(4g+10)+13(3g6)\frac{1}{2}(4g + 10) + \frac{1}{3}(3g - 6)

First, distribute the fractions: 12(4g+10)=124g+1210=2g+5\frac{1}{2}(4g + 10) = \frac{1}{2} \cdot 4g + \frac{1}{2} \cdot 10 = 2g + 5 13(3g6)=133g+13(6)=g2\frac{1}{3}(3g - 6) = \frac{1}{3} \cdot 3g + \frac{1}{3} \cdot (-6) = g - 2

Now, add the terms: (2g+5)+(g2)=2g+g+52=3g+3(2g + 5) + (g - 2) = 2g + g + 5 - 2 = 3g + 3

So, the simplified expression is: 3g+33g + 3
