A ratio of 5:7 means out of 12 books, 5 are in one category and 7 are in another. (The “category” isn’t specified in this problem.)
So here we’re STARTING with 36 books; we want to find a ratio that is equal to 5:7 and adds up to 36. Well 36 = 3(12), and so if we multiply each number in the ratio by 3 as well, we might get what we want. Doing that gives us 15:21, which adds up to 36 and is equal to 5:7. Boom, that’s the answer.
P.S. Here’s a question you can think about: why do ratios stay the same when you multiply each number by the same amount? (For example, why is 3:1 the same as 6:2?)
C is the closet to the real answer and its a estimate so, C
Write the folowing in standard form and you well get

The length of the AC is x^2 + 4x - 12.
<h3>What is a parallelogram?</h3>
That quadrilateral in which opposite sides are parallel is called a parallelogram.
Thus, a parallelogram is always a quadrilateral but a quadrilateral can or cannot be a parallelogram.
Given :
In Parallelogram ABCD, diagonals AC and BD intersect at point E.
such that
AE = x^2 - 12,
CE = 4x
We know that the diagonal of a parallelogram bisect each other.
x^2 - 12 = 4x
x^2 - 4x - 12= 0
(x-6)(x-2) = 0
Hence, the value of x = 6, 2.
AC = AE + CE = x^2 + 4x - 12.
The length of the AC is x^2 + 4x - 12.
