Answer:

JL = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told in the above question that:

In triangle △JKL, ∠JKL is right angle, and KM is an altitude. JK=24 and JM=18, find JL.

From the attached diagram, we can see that

JL : JK = JK: JM

Therefore,

JL/ JK = JK /JM

Where JL = Unknown

JK = 24

JM = 18

JL/ 24 = 24/18

Cross Multiply

24 × 24 = JL × 18

Divide both sides by 18

JL = (24 × 24) /18

JL = 576/18

JL = 32

Z=5x- 11y <br> can someone please help
Feliz [49]

Answer:

z+11y/5 = x

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you are solving for x, you want to isolate the variable. You do that by adding 11y to both sides, which cancels out the -11y. From that you should have z+11y = 5x. To cancel out the 5x you need to divide both sides by 5 to get z+11y/5 = x. Hope this helps :)

Malik collects rare stamps and has a total of 212 stamps. He has 34 more domestic stamps than foreign stamps. Let x represent th
Nana76 [90]
The equation that represents the total number of stamps malik collected is x + y = 212. The equation that represents the difference in the number of foreign and domestic stamps malik collected is: x - y = 34. This is the system of two equations. Malik has a total of 212 stamps: x + y = 212. He has 34 more domestic stamps (x) than foreign stamps (y): x = y + 34. If we rearrange it, we have x - y = 34. So, this is the system of two equations: x + y = 212 and x - y = 34.<span>

\mathsf \purple{ v = \frac{1}{2} (a + b) \times h \times l}

\mathsf \pink{v =  \frac{1}{2} (5 + 12) \times 6.1  \times 16}

\mathsf \purple{v =  \frac{1}{2} (17) \times 6.1 \times 16}

\mathsf \pink{v = 8 \frac{1}{2}  \times 6.1 \times 16}

\mathsf \purple{v = 829.6 {mi}^{3} }

Two trains leave stations 288 miles apart at the same time and travel towards each other. One train travels at 95 miles per hour
erma4kov [3.2K]
95x=85x+288
You could add 288 to any side, it just shows that they're 288 miles apart.
Let's subtract 85x from both sides.
10x=288
28.8=x
It'll take 28.8 hours for the trains to meet. Let's make sure.
28.8×95
2,736
28.8×85
2,448
2,736-2,448
288
So, they'll meet up after 28.8 miles.
