<span>the Law of Cosines </span>b^2=a^2+c^2-2accosB
If you want integer coefficients only, multiply the equation of the line by 10. I'm assuming you accidentally left off the "= 0" at the end: -1.7x + 8.5 = 0.
If that's the case, then multiplying the whole equation by 10 results in -17x + 85 = 0.
Here you have only integer coefficients.

You would get this by first getting the fraction out of the denominator by multiplying the inverse by the numerator. Then you can cross multiply and solve.
63 + 36...there is a common factor of 9
9(7 + 4) <== this is equivalent
63 + 36...there is a common factor of 3
3(21 + 12)...but this is not an answer choice...but it is equivalent
