Unfortunately, the browser used for posting questions is hopelessly inadequate for mathematics: it strips away most symbols. All that we can see of the so called equation is "-( x plus 4 ) 8?". From that it is not at all clear where the missing symbols might be.
Assuming that the question is about -( x plus 4 ) =8,
then multiply both sides by -1 to give x + 4 = -8
next subtract 4 from both sides so that x = -12

You cannot solve one equation in two unknowns.
The solution to this equation is that h is equal to -4. You can substitute this value for h into the equation to get -4 x -9 - 6 plus 12 x -4 plus 40 equals 22, or 36 - 6 plus - 48 plus 40 equals 22.
