Answer:
15
Step-by-step explanation:
a^2+b^2=c^2
y^2+8^2=17^2
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
y^2+64=289
Step 2: Subtract 64 from both sides.
y^2+64−64=289−64
y^2=225
Step 3: Take square root.
y=15
So basically when you are adding or subtracting fractions the denominators the number on the bottom of the fraction 12 in this case and 8 as well the two denominators sharing the least common multiple so what is the lowest multiple of 12 and 8 so count off 12: 12, 24, 36... 8: 8, 16 , 24 does that help?
The first option is correct
