Move all terms containing h to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-2' to each side of the equation.
2 + -2 + -1h = 0 + -2

Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0
0 + -1h = 0 + -2
-1h = 0 + -2

Combine like terms: 0 + -2 = -2
-1h = -2

Divide each side by '-1'.
h = 2

Simplifying
h = 2
Solution
h = {-3, 2}
