2-5 (h+3) = -28 What does h equal? SHOW YOUR WORK

3 (x+1) = 2 (x-8) + 3. First, remove the parentheses by distributing (multiplying out the numbers):

3x + 3 = 2x - 16 + 3.

Then, combine any like terms on the same side of the equals sign;

3x + 3 = 2x - 13.

Then, move the like terms on opposite sides of the equals sign to the same side of the equals sign (don't forget to change the signs) ...

3x - 2x = - 13 - 3.

Then combine the like terms on the same side of the equals sign again ... x = - 16.
