#h=81#

#color(blue)"Note"# whatever 'operation' we perform on one side must also be performed on the other side to retain the 'balance' of the equation.

Leave the term #-h# on the left side while collecting numeric values on the right side.

subtract 54 from both sides.

#cancel(54)cancel(-54)-h=-27-54#

#rArr-h=-81#

multiply both sides by #-1#

#-1xx-h=-1xx-81#

#rArrh=81" is the solution"#
