Answer:
equals can be substituted anytime anywhere
Step-by-step explanation:
cos(60°) = 1/2, so wherever one appears, the other can be substituted. This is allowed by the substitution property of equality.

If you don't substitute at some point, you find the answer to be ...
x = 10/cos(60°)
Most of us are interested in a numerical value for x, so we prefer that cos(60°) be replaced by a numerical value.
