In this problem, you will calculate the location of the center of mass for the Earth-Moon system, and then you will calculate the center of mass of the Earth-Moon-Sun system. The mass of the Moon is 7.35×10^22 kg, the mass of the Earth is 6.00×10^24 kg, and the mass of the sun is 2.00×10^30 kg. The distance between the Moon and the Earth is 3.80×10^5 km. The distance between the Earth and the Sun is 1.50×10^8 km Calculate the locationem of the center of mass of the Earth-Moon system. Use a coordinate system in which the center of the Earth is at x = 0 and the Moon is located in the positive x direction. Express your answer in kilometers to three significant figures.
