The expression as given says #-4/5=-3/6# which is meaningless.
If you mean (h-4)/5=(h-3)/6
then h=9
So please ensure you write what you actually mean.

Explanation:

If you subtract h from each side, we get
#-4/5=-3/6#
or
#4/5=1/2#
which clearly is not correct.

Could it be that you mean #(h-4)/5=(h-3)/6#?
If this is what you mean, please write it as such, otherwise it will be meaningless.

If you mean the last expression, we get:
#(h-4)/5=(h-3)/6#
Least common denominator: #5*6=30#
This gives
#6(h-4)=5(h-3)#
#6h-24=5h-15#
Deduct 5h from each side and add 24:
#(6h-5h)-24+24=(5h-5)-15+24#
#h=9#
