4%282h%2B3-5h%29=-228 Start with the given equation.


8h%2B12-20h=-228 Distribute.


-12h%2B12=-228 Combine like terms on the left side.


-12h=-228-12 Subtract 12 from both sides.


-12h=-240 Combine like terms on the right side.


h=%28-240%29%2F%28-12%29 Divide both sides by -12 to isolate h.


h=20 Reduce.
