# h > -9 #

Explanation:

First you need to isolate 3 # h # by moving all other numbers to the other side.

Start by subtracting # 1 # from both sides the equation.
(Whenever you move the numbers to one side to isolate a variable you add/subtract first then multiply/divide.)

# 3h + 1 -1 > -26 -1 #

When you simplify, you get:
# 3h > -27 #

Now divide both sides of the equation by # 3 #
# (3h)/3 > -27/3 #

When you simplify, you get:
# h > -9 #
