after i combine the like terms im kinda stuck on the next process.

3(h-6) + -2(9-5h)

10h-18  =-18-10h

?10h-18+10h =-18-10+10h?   this is where i get confused

or

10h-18+18=-18-10h+18

10h=10h

h=h or 1=1

3h-18+7h=-18+10h,

10h-18=10h-18, which is true for all h. So there are infinite solutions. Any value of h satisfies the equation, so it’s not an equation but an identity.
