Answer:
3c=273
c=91
2c= 212
C= 106
c= 91+ 106= 197
so they will need 197 canoes total
Why:
So first you have to determine a set variable to represent the number of canoes, I chose C. Then you make an equation to represent the number of canoes 273 people will use if they group into 3's, from this I got 3c=273. Solve for C and get 91.
The remainder of the group which is 485-273= 212 will use canoes in groups of 2's. To represent this, 2c=212. Solve for C and get 106. Combine 106 and 91 to get the total number of canoes.
Take the logarithm of both sides. The base of the logarithm doesn't matter.


Drop the exponents:

Expand the right side:

Move the terms containing <em>x</em> to the left side and factor out <em>x</em> :


Solve for <em>x</em> by dividing boths ides by 5 log(4) - log(3) :

You can stop there, or continue simplifying the solution by using properties of logarithms:



You can condense the solution further using the change-of-base identity,

Full Answer.
If the triangle is an equilateral triangle, then all three angles are exactly 60 degrees each. A right-angled triangle has one angle of 90 degrees, which is the right angle, with two more angles that total 90 degrees when added together.
The arithmetic sequence formula should help you
An= A1+ (n-1)d or An= a + d(n−1)
An= the term that you want to find.
A1 = first term in the list of ordered numbers
n = the term position (ex: for 5th term, n = 5 )
d = common difference of any pair of consecutive or adjacent numbers
So, looking the 4 choices you have the only one that follow the sequence of the formula is C
I believe the one you choose is Fibonacci sequence.
There different number of sequences:
1- arithmetic sequence
2- geometry sequence
3- Fibonacci sequence
Each of that sequences have their own formula.
So, the answer it might be C
Hope that help you
The formula for the Arithmetic is:
An = A1 + F x ( n- 1)
I believe answer is C
Because the one you chose is
