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

Answer:

A is the correct option.

Step-by-step 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 :

$(3+5)\times \dfrac{h-k}{4}$

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

So,

$(3+5)\times \dfrac{h-k}{4}=(3+5)\times \dfrac{4-12}{4}\\\\=8\times \dfrac{-8}{4}\\\\=2\times -8\\\\=-16$

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