%282%2F5%29h-7=%2812%2F5%29h-2h%2B3 Start with the given equation.


5%28%282%2Fcross%285%29%29h-7%29=5%28%2812%2Fcross%285%29%29h-2h%2B3%29 Multiply both sides by the LCD 5 to clear any fractions.


2h-35=12h-10h%2B15 Distribute and multiply.


2h-35=2h%2B15 Combine like terms on the right side.


2h=2h%2B15%2B35 Add 35 to both sides.


2h-2h=15%2B35 Subtract 2h from both sides.


0h=15%2B35 Combine like terms on the left side.


0h=50 Combine like terms on the right side.


0=50 Simplify.


Since this equation is NEVER true for any h value, this means that there are no solutions.
