Given,
$$\displaystyle{\frac{{{h}}}{{{6}}}}+{\frac{{{3}{h}}}{{{8}}}}={1}$$
It is an equation.
Step 2
On simplification, we get
$$\displaystyle\Rightarrow{\frac{{{8}{h}+{6}{\left({3}{h}\right)}}}{{{6}\cdot{8}}}}={1}$$
$$\displaystyle\Rightarrow{\frac{{{8}{h}+{18}{h}}}{{{48}}}}={1}$$
$$\displaystyle\Rightarrow{\frac{{{26}{h}}}{{{48}}}}={1}$$
$$\displaystyle\Rightarrow{26}{h}={48}$$
$$\displaystyle\Rightarrow{h}={\frac{{{48}}}{{{26}}}}$$
$$\displaystyle\Rightarrow{h}={\frac{{{24}}}{{{13}}}}$$
