Answer:
20.4
96
Step-by-step explanation:
The value of 5x² - 11x + 18 is
5(2.4)²-11(2.4) +18 = 5(5.76) -26.4+18
= 28.8 -26.4+18 = 20.4 (when x = 2.4)
and 5(-3)² -11(-3) +18 = 45+33+18 = 96
(when x = -3)
Answer:
multiply the first equation by 2
Step-by-step explanation:
24x + 36y = 72
-16x + 8y = 80
48x + 72y = 144
-48x + 24y = 240
96y = 384
y = 4
24x + 36(4) = 72
24x + 144 = 72
24x = -72
x = -3
(-3, 4)
You have the right answer I think!!

See attachment for step-by-step
Length of segment of the hypotenuse adjacent to the shorter leg is 5 inches and the length of the altitude is 3 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Let the triangle be ΔABC with right angle at B. The altitude drawn from B intersects the hypotenuse AC at D. So 2 new right angled triangles are formed, ΔADB and ΔCDB.
Step 2: According to a theorem in similarity of triangles, when an altitude is drawn from any angle to the hypotenuse of a right triangle, the 2 newly formed triangles are similar to each other as well as to the bigger right triangle. So ΔABC ~ ΔADB ~ ΔCDB.
Step 3: Identify the corresponding sides and form an equation based on proportion. Let the length of the altitude be x. Considering ΔABC and ΔADB, AB/DB = AC/AB
⇒ 6/x = 12/6
⇒ 6/x = 2
⇒ x = 3 inches
Step 4: To find length of the hypotenuse adjacent to the shorter leg (side AB of 6 inches), consider ΔADB.
