You can put this solution on YOUR website!
3h+4t = 12 cannot be solved for a unique solution because you have two variables and one equation, and this will yield infinitely many solutions. You can, however, solve for each variable. Suppose we want to solve for h. Then,





Similarly, if we want to solve for t,
