See below.

Move everything to one side of the equal sign and combine the terms. The answer turns out to be an infinite number of solution.

#6.2h+5-1.4h=4.8h+5#

#6.2h+5-1.4h-4.8h-5=0#

#6.2h-1.4h-4.8h+5-5=0#

#6.2h-6.2h+5-5=0#

#0+0=0#

#0 =0#

Since #0=0# all the time, you have infinitely many solutions for #h#.
