Answer: 11.6
--------------------------------------
Explanation:
See the attached image for a visual reference
The distance from point D to E is 21 units. Point C is the midpoint, so CD is 10.5 units long (21/2 = 10.5)
We have a right triangle ACD. The legs are
AC = 5
CD = 10.5
The hypotenuse is
AD = x
Because AD is another radius of the same circle
Use the pythagorean theorem to find x
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
5^2 + 10.5^2 = x^2
25 + 110.25 = x^2
135.25 = x^2
x^2 = 135.25
x = sqrt(135.25)
x = 11.629703349613
which rounds to 11.6 when rounding to the nearest tenth (one decimal place)

Using the elimination method, the value of x in the system of equations is calculated as: 8.
<h3>How to Solve a System of Equations by Elimination?</h3>To solve a system of equations given using the elimination method, do the following:
Multiply 2x - 5y = 1 by 2 and multiply -3x + 2y = -18 by 5 to get the following:
4x - 10y = 2 --> eqn. 1
-15x + 10y = -90 --> eqn. 2
Add
-11x = -88
Divide both sides by -11
x = 8
