first of all take all the x terms together and then the y ones...like this
x(k-h)-y(k-h)
(x-y)(k-h)
now if u want the values equate it to zero ..so we have
(x-y)(k-h)=0
but if k and h are 2 different constants then we have x=y to make it zero
so x=y is the answer
only if u want to equate u can or it wud end at (x-y)(k-h)

The above answer is correct up until:
(x-y)(k-h)
This is the final answer. There is no equation, so nothing to be solved for.
