$\huge{\boxed{36}}$

Substitute the values. $48 - 18 \div 3 * 2$

Follow PEMDAS and multiply and divide first. $48 - 6 * 2$

$48 - 12$

Continue following PEMDAS and subtract. $\boxed{36}$

First do 12-5, which equals 7. Next, subtract 1/10 from 2/5. 2/5 is the same as 4/10 if you multiply both the numerator and denominator by 2. 4/10-1/10=3/10. Now add 7 and 3/10. You will get 7 3/10 as the answer, which is letter C.)

Can someone please explain how to do this!!!

Hi there!

So we are given that:-

tan theta = 7/24 and is on the third Quadrant.

In the third Quadrant or Quadrant III, sine and cosine both are negative, which makes tangent positive.

Since we want to find the value of cos theta. cos must be less than 0 or in negative.

To find cos theta, we can either use the trigonometric identity or Pythagorean Theorem. Here, I will demonstrate two ways to find cos.

Using the Identity

$\large \displaystyle{ {tan}^{2} \theta + 1 = {sec}^{2} \theta}$

Substitute tan theta = 7/24 in.

$\large \displaystyle{ {( \frac{7}{24}) }^{2} + 1 = {sec}^{2} \theta }$

Evaluate.

$\large \displaystyle{ \frac{49}{576} + 1 = {sec}^{2} \theta} \\ \large \displaystyle{ \frac{625}{576} = {sec}^{2} \theta}$

Reminder -:

$\large \displaystyle{ sec \theta = \frac{1}{cos \theta} }$

Hence,

$\large \displaystyle{ \frac{576}{625} = {cos}^{2} \theta} \\ \large \displaystyle{ \sqrt{ \frac{576}{625} } = cos \theta} \\ \large \displaystyle{ \frac{24}{25} = cos \theta}$

Because in QIII, cos<0. Hence,

$\large \displaystyle \boxed{ \blue{cos \theta = - \frac{24}{25} }}$

Using the Pythagorean Theorem

$\large \displaystyle{ {a}^{2} + {b}^{2} = {c}^{2} }$

Define c as our hypotenuse while a or b can be adjacent or opposite.

Because tan theta = opposite/adjacent. Therefore:-

$\large \displaystyle{ {7}^{2} + {24}^{2} = {c}^{2} } \\ \large \displaystyle{49 + 576 = {c}^{2} } \\ \large \displaystyle{625 = {c}^{2} } \\ \large \displaystyle{25 = c}$
