$x = \frac{- k - 3 h}{2}$ $x = (-k - 3h) / 2$

$a x - k = 3 x + 3 h$ $ax - k = 3x + 3h$

$a x - a x - k - 3 h = 3 x - a x + 3 h - 3 h$ $ax - ax - k - 3h = 3x - ax + 3h - 3h$

$- k - 3 h = 2 x$ $-k - 3h = 2x$

$\frac{- k - 3 h}{2} = \frac{2 x}{2}$ $(-k - 3h) / 2 = (2x)/2$

$\frac{- k - 3 h}{2} = x$ $(-k - 3h) / 2 = x$

How do you solve the equation ax−k=3(x+h)ax-k=3(x+h) for x?
