x+3+hx\left(x+2\right)=\left(x+2\right)\sqrt{x-10}
Multiply both sides of the equation by x+2.
x+3+hx^{2}+2hx=\left(x+2\right)\sqrt{x-10}
Use the distributive property to multiply hx by x+2.
x+3+hx^{2}+2hx=x\sqrt{x-10}+2\sqrt{x-10}
Use the distributive property to multiply x+2 by \sqrt{x-10}.
3+hx^{2}+2hx=x\sqrt{x-10}+2\sqrt{x-10}-x
Subtract x from both sides.
hx^{2}+2hx=x\sqrt{x-10}+2\sqrt{x-10}-x-3
Subtract 3 from both sides.
\left(x^{2}+2x\right)h=x\sqrt{x-10}+2\sqrt{x-10}-x-3
Combine all terms containing h.
\left(x^{2}+2x\right)h=\sqrt{x-10}x-x+2\sqrt{x-10}-3
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(x^{2}+2x\right)h}{x^{2}+2x}=\frac{\sqrt{x-10}x-x+2\sqrt{x-10}-3}{x^{2}+2x}
Divide both sides by x^{2}+2x.
h=\frac{\sqrt{x-10}x-x+2\sqrt{x-10}-3}{x^{2}+2x}
Dividing by x^{2}+2x undoes the multiplication by x^{2}+2x.
h=\frac{\sqrt{x-10}x-x+2\sqrt{x-10}-3}{x\left(x+2\right)}
Divide x\sqrt{x-10}+2\sqrt{x-10}-x-3 by x^{2}+2x.
