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.
Step-by-step explanation:
2500x=5000000
2500x/2500=5000000/2500
x=2000
I think the answer is this
Answer:
the numbers aren't clear can you enlarge the screenshot?
Step-by-step explanation:
Re-written, I believe the equation is:
(W+23)+5=W+(23+5)
With this, the parenthesis have nothing multiplying into it, so we can drop the parenthesis to get:
W+23+5=W+23+5
Which is the same thing.
So I'd assume it is the Associative property, because you are combining the like terms of 23 and 5.
Hope this helps!
