To answer this question, we can proceed as follows:

1. Subtract 3.5 to both sides of the equation:

$(h)/(2)+3.5-3.5=7.1-3.5\Rightarrow(h)/(2)+0=3.6$

2. Multiply by 2 to both sides of the equation:

$2\cdot(h)/(2)=2\cdot3.6\Rightarrow h=7.2$

We can check this result as follows:

$(7.2)/(2)+3.5=3.6+3.5=7.1\Rightarrow7.1=7.1$

This result is TRUE. Then, the value for h = 7.2.
