Answer: 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation x^2 - 36 = 5x is a quadratic equation and can be solved thus: x^2 - 36 = 5x x^2 - 5x - 36 = 0 x^2 + 4x - 9x - 36 = 0 x(x + 4) - 9(x + 4) = 0 (x - 9)(x + 4) = 0 x - 9 = 0 or x + 4 = 0 x = 9 or x = -4 Therefore, the positive solution of x^2 - 36 = 5x? is 9.

The answer is C) 16 blocks.

We will use the distance formula for this problem:

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

From your house to the internet cafe:

$d=\sqrt{(8-6)^2+(12-2)^2}=\sqrt{2^2+10^2}=\sqrt{4+100}
\\
\\=\sqrt{104}=10.2$

From the internet cafe to your friend's house:
$d=\sqrt{(8-4)^2+(12-8)^2}=\sqrt{4^2+4^2}=\sqrt{16+16}=\sqrt{32}=5.7$

Together, we have 10.2+5.7=15.9, which rounds to 16 blocks.
