Answer:  The correct option is (A) Add the equations to eliminate p.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that an unknown number w is 30 more than an unknown number p. The number w is also p less than 5. The equations to find p and w are shown below:

w=p+30~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)\\\\w=-p+5~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(ii)

We are to select the correct step to find p and w.

Since the co-efficient of p is 1 and -1 in equations (i) and (ii) respectively, so adding both the equations will eliminate p, and we will get the value of w.

Then, substituting the value of w in any one of the equations will give us the value of p.

So, the system of equations is solved as follows :

Adding equations (i) and (ii), we get

w+w=30+5\\\\\Rightarrow 2w=35\\\\\Rightarrow w=17.5.

Substituting the value of w in equation (i), we get

p=w-30=17.5-30=-12.5.

Thus, the correct step is the add the equations to eliminate p.

Option (A) is CORRECT.

The given equations are

w = p+30 \\ w = -p+5

TO solve for p and w, we can use elimination method. And the first step is to eliminate p by adding both equations .

So out of the given options, correct option is the first option .

In quadrilateral LMNO, LO ∥ MN.
wlad13 [49]

The additional information which would be sufficient to conclude that LMNO is a parallelogram is; ML ∥ NO, LO ≅ MN, and ML ≅ LO.

<h3>What information renders LMNO a parallelogram?</h3>

The condition for a quadrilateral to be a parallelogram is that; the opposite pairs must be parallel and consequently opposite pairs are congruent as they have equal length measures.

On this note, it can be concluded that the additional information which would be sufficient are; ML ∥ NO, LO ≅ MN, and ML ≅ LO.

Katena32 [7]
<span>Find the speed of each car.
Let a be the first car
Let b be the second car
=> a = x miles per hour
=> b = x + 12 miles per hour
=> 2 (x+ x + 12) = 232 miles per hour
=> 2x + 12 = 232
=> 2x + 12 = 116
=> 2x = 116 - 12
=> 2x / 2 = 104 / 2
=> x = 52 (speed of Car A)
=> 52 + 12 = 64 miles per hour (speed of Car B)</span>
