Consider the sequence of steps to solve the equation: 3(x − 4) + 5x = 9x − 36

Given ⇒ 3(x − 4) + 5x = 9x − 36
Step 1 ⇒ 3x − 12 + 5x = 9x − 36
Step 2 ⇒ 3x + 5x − 12 = 9x − 36
Step 3 ⇒ 8x − 12 = 9x − 36
Step 4 ⇒ 8x − 8x − 12 = 9x − 8x − 36
Step 5 ⇒ 0 − 12 = x − 36
Step 6 ⇒ −12 = x − 36
Step 7 ⇒ −12 + 36 = x − 36 + 36
Step 8 ⇒ 24 = x + 0
Step 9 ⇒ 24 = x

Which property yields Step 7?

answer

8

step-by-step explanation:

7.9m and 4.3°

step-by-step explanation:

let east be +x and north be +y, x = distance * cos θ, y = distance * sin θ  

for 3.5 south, y = -3.5  

for 8.2, x = 8.2 * cos 30 and y = 8.2 * sin 30  

for 15 west, x = -15  

total x = 8.2 * cos 30 – 15 ≈ -7.9  

total y = -3.5 + 8.2 * sin 30 = 0.6  

magnitude = [(8.2 * cos 30 – 15)^2 + 0.6^2)]^0.5  

the magnitude is approximately 7.9 m  

tan θ = y/x = 0.6/-7.9  

the angle is approximately 4.3˚ north of west
