Answer:

Unfortunately, we cannot determine the value of h from the given information. The equation 9(2)^(5x+10) = 9(h)^x+2 is true for any value of h, since the equation simplifies to 9(2)^(5x+10) = 9(2)^(5x+10) for any value of h.

Explanation:

We can rewrite the given expression as:9(2)^(5x+10) = 9(h)^x+2Since the bases of the exponents are the same, we can equate the exponents and solve for h:5x + 10 = x + 24x = -8x = -2

Substituting this value of x into the equation, we get:9(2)^(5(-2)+10) = 9(h)^(-2+2)9(2)^0 = 9(h)^09 = 9Since both sides of the equation are equal, any value of h will satisfy the equation
