Answer:

h = 9

Explanation:

- 19 = 2(5 - h + 4) + 8 - 3h ( simplify parenthesis )

- 19 = 2(9 - h) + 8 - 3h ← distribute parenthesis by 2 and simplify

- 19 = 18 - 2h + 8 - 3h

- 19 = 26 - 5h ( subtract 26 from both sides )

- 19 - 26 = 26 - 26 - 5h ( simplify )

- 45 = - 5h ( divide both sides by - 5 )


(-45)/(-5) =
(-5)/(-5) h , then

9 = h
