The hanger image represents a balanced equation (look at picture)

A)

Step-by-step explanation:

When given a balanced scale (represented by a hanger in this image), the sum of the values on one side equals the value on the other side. Thus, the equation that this hanger represents is the following:

Use inverse operations to solve this equation,

c.

step-by-step explanation:

she should of added 9^2 and 12^2. that is because it is a^2+b^2=c^2. c^2 is the hypotenuse and should always be bigger than the other two numbers. which is why she should of added 9 squared and 12 squared together instead of 15 squared.
