(1)/(3) h-4( (2)/(3) h-3)= (2)/(3) h-6

First, in the parentheses, combine the numerator (2) and 'h' and also beside it.

(1)/(3) h-4( (2h)/(3) -3)= (2h)/(3) -6
Second, since 'h' is basically '1', replace the '1' with 'h' to remove it.

(h)/(3) -4( (2h)/(3) -3)= (2h)/(3) -6
Third, multiply both sides by '3'.

h - 12( (2h)/(3) -3)=2h - 18
Fourth, expand it to remove the parentheses.

h - 8h + 36 = 2h - 18
Fifth, subtract 'h - 8h' to get '-7h'.

-7h + 36 = 2h - 18
Sixth, add ' 7h' to both sides.

36 = 2h - 18 + 7h
Seventh, leave the '7h' and combine '2h + 7h' to get '9h'.

36 = 9h - 18
Eighth, add '18' to both sides.

36 + 18 = 9h
Ninth, add '36 + 18' to get '54'.

54 = 9h
Tenth, divide both sides by '9'.

(54)/(9) = h
Eleventh, since 9 × 6 = 54, simplify the fraction to '6' and flip it around.

h = 6

Answer: h = 6
