4b-3 .. you use distributive property and multiply 3*b-1 then you have 7b-3b-3 then you combine like terms and subtract 3b from 7b and get 4b-3
You are gonna use a^2 + b^2 = c^2 because the cities make a right triangle and you are trying to find the hypotenuse (c). C^2 ends up being 517 and the square root, your answer, is 22.7 miles
Pretty sure it would be D
Good luck on your finals!
