Explanation:

Step 1: Define Inequality

h - 8 > 4h + 5

Step 2: Solve for h

1. Subtract h on both sides: -8 > 3h + 5
2. Subtract 5 on both sides: -13 > 3h
3. Divide 3 on both sides: -13/3 > h
4. Rewrite: h < -13/3

Here we see that any value h smaller than -13/3 would work as a solution to the equation.
