See a solution process below:

Explanation:

Multiply each side of the equation by color(red)(8) to solve for h while keeping the equation balanced:

color(red)(8) xx h/8 = color(red)(8) xx 3

cancel(color(red)(8)) xx h/color(red)(cancel(color(black)(8))) = 24

h = 24

color(red)(h=24)

Explanation:

h/8=3

h=3xx8

color(red)(h=24)

The answer would be h=24.

Explanation:

Since the h is being divided by 8, you must do the opposite; multiplication. So, you multiply both sides by 8 to leave h by itself, like it wants to be.

Then you have 8 times 3 on the other side, which is 24. So, you end up with h=24.
