Answer:

It is an equation, and the answer is
h = -3

Explanation:

We have a variable that's equal to a term, so this is an equation.

To solve this, we want to isolate h on one side.


h - (-5) = 2

Subtracting a negative is the same thing as adding a positive:


h + 5 = 2

Now we can subtract 5 from both sides to isolate h.


h + 5 - 5 = 2-5\\\\h = -3

Hope this helped!
