Explanation

Choice A is correct. The value of h-2 can be found by substituting -2 for x in the equation defining h . Substituting -2 for x in hx=3x-7 yields h-2=3-2-7, or h-2=-13. Therefore, the value of h-2 is -13 .

Choice B is incorrect. This is the value of h-1, not h-2.

Choice C is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.

Choice D is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.
