TL;DR: Shear stress distribution tapered beam

Free-body diagram of a differential slice of a tapered beam: a shaded region with dx across the top, shear stress tau at the cut face shown by arrows, normal stress sigma_x at the left face shown by arrows, and a height labelled h'dx at the right.

I am reading a journal article from Balduzzi about shear stress recover on tapered beams. I can not get the exact constants he gets and I am stumped. Above is solving for differential piece of the beam. Equations 16-18 are the ones I am trying to calculate. I attached my work and the article.
Thanks!

Did you already get the constants?
