-2h + h2 = 37

The h term is -2h.  Take half its coefficient (-1).
Square it (1) and add it to both sides.

Add '1' to each side of the equation.
-2h + 1 + h2 = 37 + 1

Reorder the terms:
1 + -2h + h2 = 37 + 1

Combine like terms: 37 + 1 = 38
1 + -2h + h2 = 38

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(h + -1)(h + -1) = 38

Calculate the square root of the right side: 6.164414003

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(h + -1) equal to 6.164414003 and -6.164414003.

Subproblem 1
h + -1 = 6.164414003

Simplifying
h + -1 = 6.164414003

Reorder the terms:
-1 + h = 6.164414003

Solving
-1 + h = 6.164414003

Solving for variable 'h'.

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

Add '1' to each side of the equation.
-1 + 1 + h = 6.164414003 + 1

Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0
0 + h = 6.164414003 + 1
h = 6.164414003 + 1

Combine like terms: 6.164414003 + 1 = 7.164414003
h = 7.164414003

Simplifying
h = 7.164414003

Subproblem 2
h + -1 = -6.164414003

Simplifying
h + -1 = -6.164414003

Reorder the terms:
-1 + h = -6.164414003

Solving
-1 + h = -6.164414003

Solving for variable 'h'.

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

Add '1' to each side of the equation.
-1 + 1 + h = -6.164414003 + 1

Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0
0 + h = -6.164414003 + 1
h = -6.164414003 + 1

Combine like terms: -6.164414003 + 1 = -5.164414003
h = -5.164414003

Simplifying
h = -5.164414003

Solution
The solution to the problem is based on the solutions
from the subproblems.
h = {7.164414003, -5.164414003}
