Exponential eqation solution
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:
24 and 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there!
Let x be equal to the larger integer.
Let y be equal to the smaller integer.
<u>1) Construct equations</u>
- (The sum of two integers is 33)
- (The larger is 6 more than twice the smaller)
<u>2) Solve for one of the integer</u>
Isolate x in the first equation
Plug the first equation into the second
Combine like terms
Therefore, the smaller integer is 9.
<u />
<u>3) Solve for the other integer</u>
Plug in y (9)
Therefore, the larger integer is 24.
I hope this helps!
