Answer:
h = - 103/8
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Re-order terms so constants are on the left
8h = = -2(8)²+4(8)-7
2) Evaluate the exponent
8h = -2·64+4(8)-7
3) Multiply the numbers
8h = -128+4(8)-7
4) Multiply the numbers
8h = -128+32-7
5) Add the numbers
8h = -103
6) Divide both sides of the equation by the same term
8h/8 = -103/8
7) Simplify
- Cancel terms that are in both the numerator and denominator
h = -103/8
