Complete question

Testing a robot. The robot is 17 inches tall and weighs 4 pounds. The employees of the company marked a grid on the floor and set the robot at (5,3). They programmed the robot to walk 2 yards east and 6 yards north each minute. What will the co-ordinate after 7 steps

Solution

The grid on the floor is (5, 3)

5 is the X -co-ordinate and 3 is the y co-ordinate

Since the robot is walking in the north and east direction , it will be in the first co-ordinate only

After seven steps, in east direction, the co-ordinate would be 7 * 5 = 35

After seven steps, in north direction, the co-ordinate would be 7 * 3 = 21

So the co-ordinate would be (35, 21)
