Our initial equation:

17h - 7 = 10h - 2 + 7h

I want to get variables ("h") on one side, and numbers on the other, hence I will add 2 to both sides to shift numbers to the left side.

17h - 5 = 10h + 7h

Now I want to simplify the "h" on the right side.

17h - 5 = 17h

Now I will move the variable from the left to the right.

-5 = 0

17h - 17h is zero, think of h being equal to 1 if you don't get it.

-5 = 0 is a false inequality, there are no solutions.

THERE ARE NO SOLUTIONS.
