Solve -7/8h=-1/6

$$- \frac { 7 } { 8 } h = - \frac { 1 } { 6 }$$

Solve for h

$$h=\frac{4}{21}\approx 0.19047619$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides by -\frac{8}{7}, the reciprocal of -\frac{7}{8}.

$$h=-\frac{1}{6}\left(-\frac{8}{7}\right)$$

Multiply -\frac{1}{6} times -\frac{8}{7} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.

$$h=\frac{-\left(-8\right)}{6\times 7}$$

Do the multiplications in the fraction \frac{-\left(-8\right)}{6\times 7}.

$$h=\frac{8}{42}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{8}{42} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$h=\frac{4}{21}$$
