\[h+9=-3h-7\]

1
Add 3h3h to both sides.
h+9+3h=7h+9+3h=-7

2
Simplify  h+9+3hh+9+3h  to  4h+94h+9.
4h+9=74h+9=-7

3
Subtract 99 from both sides.
4h=794h=-7-9

4
Simplify  79-7-9  to  16-16.
4h=164h=-16

5
Divide both sides by 44.
h=164h=-\frac{16}{4}

6
Simplify  164\frac{16}{4}  to  44.
h=4h=-4

Done
