Answer: <u><em>2987</em></u>
First we need to<u> rewrite the equation</u>. Since x = 23 and y = 36 the equation should look like this for easier steps:
25(23) + 67(36) = ?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now since there<em><u> numbers by other numbers in parentheses</u></em>, we need to multiply them.
25 x 23 = 575.
67 x 36 = 2412.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now that the equation is in its <u>final form</u>, we write it like this for the answer:
575 + 2412 =
<h2>2987.</h2>
