h=5/3

Explanation:

#1/2(5-2h)=h/2#

Multiply by 2 both sides of the equation:
#1/cancel((2))*cancel(2)(5-2h)=h/cancel2*cancel2#
#rarr 5-2h=h#

Adding 2h on both sides to isolate the terms with h on the left side of the equation:
#5cancel(-2h)+cancel(2h)=h+2h#
#5=3h#

Dividing both sides by 3 to isolate h:
#5/3=(cancel(3)h)/cancel3#
#rarr h=5/3#
