You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y%2B3=+sqrt%28%28x%2F16%29%28%2B2%29%29
y%2B3=+sqrt%28%28x%2F16%29%282%29%29
y%2B3=sqrt%282%28x%2F16%29%29
y%2B3=%281%2F4%29sqrt%282x%29
y%2B3%284%2F4%29=%281%2F4%29sqrt%282x%29
y=%281%2F4%29sqrt%282x%29-%283%2A4%29%2F4
y=%281%2F4%29%28sqrt%282x%29-12%29
Almost in the form you want. The only question is how you expect to compare 2x and x-h.

Maybe, 2x=x-h
2x-x=-h
x-2x=h
h=-x

Maybe you should give the exact problem description.
