Question

now, you have 3 terms on the left side of the equation: two constants, 10 and -8, and one h term, -2h. we can combine like terms to make the left side of the equation easier to work with. how can you rewrite the left side of the equation to combine like terms?
10 - 2(h + 4) = 3h - 8
10 + -2(h + 4) = 3h - 8
10 + -2h + -8 = 3h - 8
add -2h and -8
add 10 and -2h
add 10 and -8

Explanation:

Step1: Identify like terms

Left side terms: $10$, $-2h$, $-8$. Like constants: $10$ and $-8$; like variable term: $-2h$.

Step2: Combine constant terms

$10 + (-8) = 2$

Step3: Rewrite simplified left side

$2 - 2h$ (or $-2h + 2$)

Answer:

To combine like terms, rewrite the left side by Add 10 and -8, resulting in the simplified expression $-2h + 2$ (or $2 - 2h$). The correct matching option is: Add 10 and -8
