First, add like terms and get 3h + 34 = 22, then bring the 34 over to the other side by subtracting 34 from both sides. 3h + 34 - 34 = 22 - 34 to get 3h = -12, then divide 3 from both sides and you get 3h/3 = -12/3, h = -12/3 = ?

Sorry, OS is lagging my messages. I just deleted one. Anyways, the answer would be -4, because the 12 is negative.
