2%285h-1%29=3%284h%2B2%29 Start with the given equation.


10h-2=12h%2B6 Distribute.


10h=12h%2B6%2B2 Add 2 to both sides.


10h-12h=6%2B2 Subtract 12h from both sides.


-2h=6%2B2 Combine like terms on the left side.


-2h=8 Combine like terms on the right side.


h=%288%29%2F%28-2%29 Divide both sides by -2 to isolate h.


h=-4 Reduce.

Answer:

So the solution is h=-4
