The cross section of a triangular prism is an isosceles triangle with the 2 longer sides having length 2x cm2x\,\text{cm} and shorter side with length x cmx\,\text{cm}. The length of the prism d cmd\,\text{cm}. Let the total volume of the prism be 12T cm3\dfrac12T\,\text{cm}^3, and the total prism surface area be T cm2T\,\text{cm}^2, which one of the following is an expression for dd in terms of xx?

A3x30x−10\dfrac{\sqrt{3x}}{\sqrt{30}x-10}
B215x215x−5\dfrac{2\sqrt{15}x}{2\sqrt{15}x-5}
C30x30x−15\dfrac{\sqrt{30}x}{\sqrt{30}x-15}
D15x15x−10\dfrac{\sqrt{15}x}{\sqrt{15}x-10}
E15x15x−5\dfrac{\sqrt{15}x}{\sqrt{15}x-5}
