C, her results are very close to one another
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula is:
x=(-b± √b^2-4ac)/2a
a= 1
b= -8
c= 17
x= (-(-8)±√64-4(1)(17))/2
x= (8±√-4)/2
now
x1= (8+√-4)/2
x2=(8-√-4)/2
"5 times a sum of 12 and a number is 80" translates to the next equasion:
5 x (12+a) = 80
Now we just have to solve it to find the value of a.

The unknown number is 4.
D is the right answer.
