Answer:

h = -8

Explanation:

-2(3 + 7h) + 2 = 108

-2 * 3 + -2 * 7h + 2 = 108

combine like terms

-6 - 14h + 2 = 108

-4 - 14h = 108

add 4 to both sides of the equation

-4 + 4 - 14h = 108 + 4

-14h = 108 + 4

-14h = 112

divide both sides of the equation by -14

-14h/-14 = 112/-14

h = 112/-14

h = -8
