Hi there!

There are two steps to take when solving this equation, but before we even think about that, let's start by rewriting the equation.

5a + 17 = 47

Step 1) Subtract 17 from both sides.

5a + 17 - 17 = 47 - 17

5a = 30

Step 2) Divide both sides by 5.

5a/5 = 30/5

a = 6

So, your final answer therefore is

a = 6

Hope this helps!

TIP - This method can be used when solving any equation with 1 variable. :D

umka21 [38]

Answer:

  4.24 km

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-component of the displacement after the turn is ...

  d2·cos(θ) = (3.38 km)cos(65.3°) ≈ 1.41239 km

Adding this to the displacement before the turn, we have ...

  x-component of displacement = 2.83 km + 1.41 km = 4.24 km
