Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

2/3(6h - 9) = 6

Step 2: Solve for h

1. [Division Property of Equality] Divide 2/3 on both sides:                             6h - 9 = 9
2. [Addition Property of Equality] Add 9 on both sides:                                   6h = 18
3. [Division Property of Equality] Divide 6 on both sides:                                h = 3
