%282%2F3%29h%2B5=-4-%281%2F3%29h Start with the given equation.


3%28%282%2Fcross%283%29%29h%2B5%29=3%28-4-%281%2Fcross%283%29%29h%29 Multiply both sides by the LCD 3 to clear any fractions.


2h%2B15=-12-1h Distribute and multiply.


2h=-12-h-15 Subtract 15 from both sides.


2h%2Bh=-12-15 Add h to both sides.


3h=-12-15 Combine like terms on the left side.


3h=-27 Combine like terms on the right side.


h=%28-27%29%2F%283%29 Divide both sides by 3 to isolate h.


h=-9 Reduce.
