Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
3/4 (5x -3)+8=17
3/4 (5x -3) = 17 - 8 = 9
(5x -3) = 9 * (4/3)= 36/3 = 12
5x = 12 + 3 = 15
x = 3
Since the distance of MN is 31 and we have a distance of ML
of h -15 and LN of 2h – 8, therefore
ML + LN = h -15 + 2h – 8 = 31
h = 18
substituting the value of h to the expression for LN
obtaining
LN = 2h – 8
LN = 2(18) – 8
LN = 28
Therefore the length of the segment LN is 28 units

Step-by-step explanation:
Easy way to do this is step by step. Your quadratic, from your entry, must be
.
Step by step looks like this, one thing at a time:
becomes
becomes

and this of course is

Do the same with the subtraction sign to get the other solution.
If you're unsure of how to enter it into your calculator, do it step by step so you don't mess up the sign. If you enter it incorrectly, you could end up with an imaginary number when it should be real, or a real one that should be imaginary.
Just my advice as a high school math teacher.
It’s either vertex or base
