Q4 of 47 Page 408

A ship is to reach a place 8° south of west. In what direction should the ship be steered if declination at the place is 18° west?

Initially the ship is at 8° south of west. Declining 180 from 80 south of west results in actual direction. Now from north we get the direction of 90-18-8 = 90-26 = 64° West of North.
