What is the solution to the equation negative 3 times open paren h plus 5 close paren plus 2 is equal to 4 times open paren h plus 6 close paren minus 9 ?

Distribute and combine terms: −3(h + 5) + 2 becomes −3h − 13, and 4(h + 6) − 9 becomes 4h + 15. Set the expressions equal: −3h − 13 = 4h + 15, so −28 = 7h and h = −4. The correct choice is h is equal to negative 4.
