Answer:
C) 25
Step-by-step explanation:
First, solve for the height (red dotted line) using the Pythagorean theorem 9²+b²=15²
81+b²=225
b²=225-81
b²=12
Then set up a ratio.
x/12=9/15
simplify
x/12=3/5
cross-multiply
3x=60
x=20
This gives us the base. Now we can solve for x using the Pythagorean theorem again.
20²+15²=x²
400+225=x²
625=x²
√x²=√625
x=25
Considering the expression 4x + 12 = 64, it is found that:
A. The problem is that you purchased x fried pastry, costing $4, plus a chocolate and a soda, costing $12, and the total purchase cost was of $64.
B. The solution is x = 13.
C. The solution means that you purchased 13 fried pastry.
<h3>Expression</h3>
The expression is presented as follows:
4x + 12 = 64.
A possible context for this problem is:
- x fried pastry are purchased, each costing $4, hence 4x.
- A chocolate and a soda purchased, costing a total of 12, hence 4x + 12.
- The total cost of the purchase was of $64, hence 4x + 12 = 64.
The number of fried pastry purchased is the solution to the equation, calculated as follows:
4x + 12 = 64
4x = 52
x = 52/4
x = 13 -> 13 fried pastry were purchased.

Umm subtract 7 from 5 2/7 and u will get 12/7
Therefore, the answer is 12/7
A quadratic equation cannot have one imaginary solution because of the discriminant enclosed in a radical. The discriminant, √(b² - 4ac), determines the nature of the roots and it can only be either 2 real roots, 1 real solution or 2 imaginary roots. Hope this answers the question.
