Answer: h = 10

Explanation:


(3)/(7)=(h)/(14)-(2)/(7)

Add
(2)/(7) on both sides to isolate
(h)/(14) .


(2)/(7)+ (3)/(7)=(h)/(14)-(2)/(7)+(2)/(7)


(2+3)/(7)=(h)/(14)


(5)/(7)=(h)/(14)

Multiply by 14 on both sides.


14*(5)/(7)=(h)/(14)*14

14 and 7 can be simplified.

14/7=2

7/7=1


2*5=h


10=h

3/7 + 2/7 = 5/7
5/7 = h/14
5/7 x 2 = 10/14
10/14 = h/14
h = 10
