Adam is incorrect because if you substitute the value of y (which is 2) on the expression 52-3y=20, the statement is false since 46 is obviously not equal to 20.
52-3(2)=20
52-6=20
46 = 20
FALSE
If the problem is referring to the equivalent logarithmic equation log (20 *27).
We can easily find and solve its equivalent expression using one of the many identities available in logarithmic.
We can have the expression:
log (20*27) = log 20 + log 27
You would split out the velocity into x and y components.
X component: 5.6cos(73)= 1.637i
Y component: 5.6sin(73)= 5.355j
Therefore velocity in its component form is 1.637i + 5.355j ft/s
Not sure how simplified you need it...
