Adding the equations to eliminate p would be the correct step because when you add the equations together, the variable p would cancel out and be eliminated leaving you with 2w=35 you can then solve for the value of w which you can then input to find the value of p, allowing you to solve for the values of both p and w.
Answer:
Step 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The problem distributed 2 into x and -4 which resulted in 2x - 8
Answer: 52
Step-by-step explanation:
First, divide 13 by the total amount of shows, 19. Then, divide 76 by 19. This results in 4, which when multiplied by 13, results in 52. To check the answer just divide 52/76 and you should get the same number as with 13/19.
X^2 - 12x = 61
Take half of the coefficient of the middle term (half of -12x), square this result, and then add, and then subtract, from -12x:
x^2 - 12x + (6)^2 - (6)^2 = 61
(x-6)^2 - 36 = 61, and so (x-6)^2 = 97
Note: These results are all equivalent; choose the one you think best.
