Answer

Infinitely many solutions.

Work Step by Step

The given equation is $\Rightarrow -4(-5h-4)=2(10h+8)$ Use distributive property. $\Rightarrow 20h+16=20h+16$ Subtract $20h$ from both sides. $\Rightarrow 20h+16-20h=20h+16-20h$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 16=16$ The statement $6=6$ is always true. so, the equation has infinitely many solutions.
