So x times y=15
x+y=12
solve
x+y=12
subtract x from both sides
y=12-x
subsitute
xy=15
x(12-x)=15
distribute
12x-x^2=15
subtract (12x-x^2) from both sides
0=x^2-12x+15
use quadratic formula which is
x=

where you have
0=ax^2+bx+c
so
a=1
b=-12
c=15
subsitute
x=

x=

x=

x=

x=6+/-

x=6+

or 6-

or aprox
x=10.5826 or 1.41742
the numbers are 10.5826 and 1.41742
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
if you connect and extend to points it forms a line with a y-intercept of 2 when x is zero
y = mx + b m the slope equals 1
y = x +2
You use Pythagorean theorem...a^2+b^2=c^2
a=12ft
b=47-31.. height of the triangle
c=distance between two roof tops
(12)^2+(16)^2=c^2
144+256=c^2
400=c^2, take square root of both sides
c=20ft
I honestly have no idea, I’m so sorry, perhaps divide the 6 foot
