Answer:

(24x^2 + 14x – 20) /(3x+5) =  h

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a trapezoid is given by

A =1/2 (b1+b2) h

12x^2 + 7x – 10 = 1/2 ( x+3+ 3x+2)h

Multiply each side by 2

24x^2 + 14x – 20 =  ( x+3+ 3x+2)h

Combine like terms

24x^2 + 14x – 20 =  ( 4x+5)h

Divide each side by (4x+5)

(24x^2 + 14x – 20) /(4x+5) =  ( 4x+5)h/(4x+5)

(24x^2 + 14x – 20) /(4x+5) =  h
