x=3 and y=2 because 6+6 = 12 and 2 times 3 is 6 :)
The equation of the graph is C.

Vocabulary
Before going into an explanation, let's go over some important vocabulary.
- Collinear - Collinear describes points that are on the same line. This means that there is 1 line with the 3 points L, M, and N.
- Segment addition postulate - The segment addition postulate states that if there are 2 collinear points (A and C) with another point in between them (B), then the statement AB + BC = AC must be true.
Solving for MN
Using the postulate above we can make a new equation. First, let's set up an equation that mirrors the postulate.
Now, let's plug in the values we know.
Then, solve.
This proves that a possible value of MN is 33.
33=34x+2 = 31/34 - as a decimal is 0.91176
Since there is a 2 at the start, we actually multiply -5 by 2, meaning that it needs to multiply to (-5*2)=-10 and add up to -3. Since -5 and 2 fit the bill, we get (x+5)(x-2)=0 (as -5+5 and 2-2=0)
