As always, isolate the variables to one side of the equation.

#5 - 6 = -6h +2h#

#-1 = -4h#

#h=1/4#

H should equal #1/4# for your final solution.

#h = 1/4#

Change the equation around to get all the variables on one side and all the numbers on the other.

#5+6h color(red)(-2h) = 6+2hcolor(red)(-2h)#

#5color(blue)(-5)+6h -2h = 6color(blue)(-5)#

Having the like terms together now gives the following

#6h-2h = 6-5#

#4h = 1#

#h = 1/4#
