B. Subtract 10 from both sides of the equation
C. Take the square root of both sides of the equation
D. Subtract 9 from both sides of the equation
SUBMIT

A.factor the left side of the equation

sorry but to tell u the answer, I need to know this

is there an equal sign between 9 and 10 or it's just a minus sign?

I mean if it is a minus sign the first thing to do to solve the equation is 9-10 which gives you -1. but if there is an equal sign the first step is to subtract 10 from both sides of the equation which means your answer will be option B.

what i would say the best answer is a. 40.5

the degrees would remain the same ( the number to the left of the decimal point.

the multiply the decimal by 60 to get the minutes and use the numbers to the left of the decimal point.

then multiply the decimal portion of that by 60 for the seconds and round off as needed.

39 .956652

the 39 remains the degrees.

the minutes = 0.956652 x 60 = 57.39912

the minutes = 57

the seconds = 0.39912 x 60 = 23.95 = 24 ( rounded to nearest tenth)

so 39.956652 = 39 degrees, 57 minutes and 24 seconds

-75.159809

the -75 remains the degrees

the minutes = 0.159809 x 60 = 9.58854

the minutes = 9

the seconds = 0.58854 x 60 = 35.31, rounded to nearest tenth = 35.3 seconds

so -75.159809 = -75 degrees, 9 minutes and 35.3 seconds.

the first coordinate is north or south, since it it positive it is north.

the second number is east or west, because it is negative it is west.

39 degrees, 57 minutes and 24 seconds n

-75 degrees, 9 minutes and 35.3 seconds w
