Answer:
The answer is C
Step-by-step explanation:
Because 27.54 divided by 2 = 13.77
each person will be 13.77
if that makes sense
You have to use Pythagorean's theorem to find the missing side measure. 41^2=40^2 + w^2. 1681 = 1600 + w^2. 1681-1600=w^2. 81=w^2 and w = 9. That's an odd triangle, but accurate! Now use the cos definition of cos x = 9/41, and cos x = .2195. Now use the inverse function on your calculator in degree mode to see that the angle x is 77.3 degrees.
Downstream DATA:
distance = 12 miles
time = 2 hours
rate = 12/2 = 6 mph
----------------
Upstream DATA:
distance = 12 miles
time = 4 hrs
rate = 12/4 = 3 mph
----
Equations:
Downstream: b + c = 6
Upstream::: b - c = 3
------
Add to get:
2b = 9
b = 4.5 mph (speed of the boat in still water.)
-----
Solve for "c":
b + c = 6
4.5 + c = 6
c = 1.5 mph (speed of the current)
The answer is 1.5 mph
The next term is 1.4 larger than the one before it, so the appropriate choice is

_____
However, the description

also correctly describes the relationship between a1 and a2, for example. While this equation is technically correct, it is less useful to work with, so is probably not the expected answer.
Distributive property says a(b+c)=ab+ac so
4(3x+2)=4(3x)+4(2)=12x+8
then add
12x+8-2
12x-6
it could also be 6(2x-1)
factor 20b-16
find the greatest common factor of both
20=2 times 2 times 5
16=2 times 2 times 2 times 2
GCF=2 tiemes 2=4
20b-16
undistribute 4 from each (divide each by 4)
4(5b-4)
