Answer:
h=(-g)/(g-2)

Explanation:

Let's solve for h.


3h+g=5h-hg

Step 1: Add
gh to both sides.


g+3h+gh=-gh+5h+gh


gh+g+3h=5h

Step 2: Add
-5h to both sides.


gh+g+3h+-5h=5h+-5h


gh+g-2h=0

Step 3: Add
-g to both sides.


gh+g-2h+-g=0+-g


gh-2h=-g

Step 4: Factor out the variable
h.


h(g-2)=-g

Step 5: Divide both sides by
g-2.


(h(g-2))/(g-2) =(-g)/(g-2)


h=(-g)/(g-2)

Answer:


h=(-g)/(g-2)
