To subtract the expression \((3h + 4)\) from \((8h - 9)\), follow these steps: 1. Distribute the negative sign across the second expression: \[ (8h - 9) - (3h + 4) = (8h - 9) - 3h - 4 \] 2. Combine like terms: - For the \(h\) terms: \(8h - 3h = 5h\) - For the constant terms: \(-9 - 4 = -13\) Putting it all together, you get: \[ 5h - 13 \] Thus, the result is: \[ \boxed{5h - 13} \]

To subtract the expression \((3h + 4)\) from \((8h - 9)\), follow these steps:

Distribute the negative sign across the second expression: \[ (8h - 9) - (3h + 4) = (8h - 9) - 3h - 4 \]
Combine like terms:
- For the \(h\) terms: \(8h - 3h = 5h\)
- For the constant terms: \(-9 - 4 = -13\)

Putting it all together, you get: \[ 5h - 13 \]

Thus, the result is: \[ \boxed{5h - 13} \]
