-x^2 + 4x + 12 = -3x + 24
-> x^2 - 7x + 12 = 0
-> (x-3)(x-4) = 0
-> x= 3 or 4
so y = 15 when x = 3, y = 12 when x = 4
I think it B or D I hope i don’t get it wrong
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
see the attached figure to better understand the problem
step 1
In the right triangle ABC find the length side BC
we know that


step 2
In the right triangle ABD find the length side BD
we know that


step 3
we know that
The distance between the two boats is the length side CD

substitute the values

My answer would be c. hope this helps.
