2 1/6-h/18=1/3
First make 2 1/6 an improper fraction;
13%2F6-h%2F18=1%2F3
subtract 13%2F6 from both sides;
13%2F6-h%2F18-13%2F6=1%2F3-13%2F6
-h%2F18=2%2F6-13%2F6
-h%2F18=-11%2F6
Now multiply both sides by 18;
-h%2F18(18)=-11%2F6(18)
-h=-198%2F6
-h=-33
You don't want to leave the variable as -, so you multiply each side by -1;
h=33
Hopr you understand
