Verified step by step guidance1
Start with the given equation: \(6h - \left(-12\right) = 5 + 5h\).
Apply the subtraction of a negative number by rewriting \(-\left(-12\right)\) as \(+12\), so the equation becomes \$6h + 12 = 5 + 5h$.
Use the subtraction property of equality to isolate the variable terms on one side. Subtract \$5h\( from both sides to get \)6h - 5h + 12 = 5$.
Simplify the left side by combining like terms: \(\left(6h - 5h\right) + 12 = 5\) which simplifies to \(h + 12 = 5\).
Use the subtraction property of equality again to isolate \(h\) by subtracting 12 from both sides: \(h = 5 - 12\).
