Answer: B
Begin by simplifying the given equation, so it's rearranged into standard form. Move all the terms onto one side, so they equal 0. This would result with 
-3x-9=0. Quadratic formula is (-b±√(b²-4ac))/(2a). Standard form follow this variable format: 
+bx+c. Use the numbers that correspond with each variable to substitute them into the quadratic formula. This would be
(-(-3)±√(-3²-4(4)(-9)/2(4).
Answer: Choice B) 3/5
==================================================
Explanation:
The smaller horizontal side is JM = 15
The larger horizontal side is NQ = 25
The ratio of these corresponding sides is:
small/large = 15/25 = (5*3)/(5*5) = 3/5
----------------
Alternatively,
The smaller vertical side is ML = 18
The larger vertical side is QP = 30
The ratio of these corresponding sides is:
small/large = 18/30 = (6*3)/(6*5) = 3/5
----------------
Either way, the answer is 3/5
Let
x----------> the first number
y---------> the second number
z--------> the third number
we know that
x+y+z=19-----> z=19-x-y------> equation 1
2x+4y+5z=72-----> equation 2
4x-y=12------> equation 3
substitute equation 1 in 2
2x+4y+5*[19-x-y]=72----> 2x+4y+95-5x-5y=72----> -3x-y=-23
3x+y=23------> equation 4
add equation 3 and equation 4
4x-y=12
3x+y=23
--------------
7x+0y=35--------> x=35/7----------> x=5
4x-y=12------> y=4x-12----> y=4*5-12----> y=8
z=19-x-y------> z=19-5-8----> z=6
the answer is
the numbers are
5
8
6
