Answer:


{ \sf{7h - (3h - 5) = 2(h - 7)}} \\ \\ { \sf{7h - 3h + 5 = 2h - 14}}

[distributive property open brackets ]


{ \sf{4h + 5 = 2h - 14}}

[simplification of either sides]


{ \sf{4h - 2h = - 14 - 5}}

[operating similar terms]


{ \sf{2h = - 19}} \\

[simplification]


{ \sf{h = ( - 19)/(2) }}
