Let's give Cindy's age a variable.

Cindy's age = x

Cindy multiplies her age by 5

x(5)

Subtracted by 12

x(5) - 12

Divide by 3

(5x - 12)/3

The result was 16

(5x - 12)/3 = 16

Let's solve

Multiply both sides by 3

(5x - 12) = 48

Open brackets

5x - 12 = 48

Add 12 to both sides

5x = 60

Divide by 5 on both sides to isolate x

x = 12

Cindy is 12 years old.

Answer:

The answer to your question is the last option

Step-by-step explanation:

Quadratic equation

2 = - x + x² - 4

Order the equation from the highest power to the lowest power. Do not consider 2 because it is not consider in the options given.

x² - x - 4 = 0

Identify a, b and c

(1) x² -(1) x - 4 = 0

a = 1 b = -1 c = - 6

Substitution

$\frac{-(-1) +- \sqrt{(-1)^{2} - 4(1)((-4)}}{2(1)}$
