Q1 :
x + (x+25) = 131
2x + 25 = 131
2x = 131-25
2x = 106
x = 53
53+25 = 78
Therefore, 53+78=131
Q2 :
x + (x+14) = 58
2x + 14 = 58
2x = 58-14
2x = 44
x = 22
22+14 = 36
Therefore, 22+36=58
Q3 :
let ‘b’ be basketball
b + (3+b) = 27
2b + 3 = 27
2b = 27-3
2b = 24
b = 12
12 + 3 = 15
Therefore, 12 + 15 = 27
12 basketballs and 15 footballs were sold on Saturday
Q4 :
let ‘s’ be soup
s + 2s = 738
3s = 738
s = 246
246 x 2 = 492
Therefore, the hamburger has 492 calories while the soup as 246 calories
hope it helps somehow!

Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply 27 by 3/4 or .75 to equal 20.25.
There is nothing wrong with Arlene's math. Her answer is correct. The mistake is that she has cited the "associative property" where the "commutative property" should have been cited, and vice versa.
The associative property has to do with where you put parentheses. The commutative property has to do with what order the operands are in.
