[tex]Area\ of\ trapezoid:A=\frac{b_1+b_2}{2}\cdot h\\\\b_1;\ b_2-base;\ h-height\\-------------------\\b_1=x+7;\ b_2=2x-1;\ h=5x-8\\\\subtitute:\\\\A=\frac{(x+7)+(2x-1)}{2}\cdot(5x-8)=\frac{3x+6}{2}\cdot(5x-8)\\\\=\frac{(3x+6)(5x-8)}{2}=\frac{(3x)(5x)+(3x)(-8)+(6)(5x)+(6)(-8)}{2}\\\\=\frac{15x^2-24x+30x-48}{2}=\frac{15x^2+6x-48}{2}\\\\=\frac{15x^2}{2}+\frac{6x}{2}-\frac{48}{2}=\boxed{7.5x^2+3x-24}\leftarrow\boxed{\boxed{d)}}[/tex]
