It is not an equation and so there is nothing to solve.  You just need to evaluate the expression -(4h-1)/1+h   when  h = 2.
Put h = 2 and you get: -(4 * 2 - 1) / (1 + 2) = -7 / 3.

I am assuming the expression is: $\Large -\frac{4h-1}{1+h}$

I got up until this point too : ) so thank you for explaining it. My question is, do you carry out by simplifying -7/3 or do you just leave it as it is?
