Answer:
232°
Step-by-step explanation:
There are a couple of ways to find the desired direction. Perhaps the most straightforward is to add up the coordinates of the travel vectors.
30∠270° +50∠210° = 30(cos(270°), sin(270°)) +50(cos(210°), sin(210°))
= (0, -30) +(-43.301, -25) = (-43.301, -55)
Then the angle from port is ...
arctan(-55/-43.301) ≈ 231.79° . . . . . . . 3rd quadrant angle
The bearing of the ship from port is about 232°.

<em>Comment on the problem statement</em>
The term "knot" is conventionally used to indicate a measure of speed (nautical mile per hour), not distance. It is derived from the use of a knotted rope to estimate speed. Knots on the rope were typically 47 ft 3 inches apart. As a measure of distance 30 knots is about 1417.5 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define Systems</u>
y = x - 16
5y = 2x - 56
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Substitute in <em>y</em>: 5(x - 16) = 2x - 56
- Distribute 5: 5x - 80 = 2x - 56
- [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 2x on both sides: 3x - 80 = -56
- [Addition Property of Equality] Add 80 on both sides: 3x = 24
- [Division Property of Equality] Divide 3 on both sides: x = 8
<u>Step 3: Solve for </u><em><u>y</u></em>
- Define original equation: y = x - 16
- Substitute in <em>x</em>: y = 8 - 16
- Subtract: y = -8
