Solve[ ..., h, {d}] means solve for h while eliminating d. Solve[ ..., d, {h}] means solve for d while eliminating h. Solve[ ..., d, h] means solve for d and constrain it to the domain h. Since h is not a domain, you get a warning and it uses h as a variable to be eliminated, i.e., it interprets the statement as if you had entered Solve[ ..., d, {h}]. The elimination variable(s) even when just one are in List brackets to avoid initially being interpreted as a domain.

Hi @Bob. I noticed that changing the order of variables I am trying to find changes the final result as well. For example, h, {d}] and d to d, {h}] and h results in completely different outputs. Why does this happen?
