The problem statement gives rise to two equations.
w = 30 + p . . . . . w is 30 more than p
w = 5 - p . . . . . .. w is p less than 5
Add these two equations to get
2w = 35
w = 35/2 = 17.5
p = 5 - w = -12.5
The unknown number w is 17.5.
The unknown number p is -12.5.
THE first option is correct
Its C! Hope this helps and can you mark me as brainliest :))
