Multiply each side of the equation by #3/2#. See full explanation below:

Explanation:

Multiply each side of the equation by #color(red)(3)/color(blue)(2)# to solve for #h# and keep the inequality balanced.

#color(red)(3)/color(blue)(2) xx 2/3h > color(red)(3)/color(blue)(2) xx 14#

#cancel(color(red)(3))/cancel(color(blue)(2)) xx color(blue)(cancel(color(black)(2)))/color(red)(cancel(color(black)(3)))h > 42/2#

#h > 21#
