Chapter 4.5, Problem 13CYU

To determine

To find:the series of steps that could be used to solve the equation

Answer to Problem 13CYU

Option C is correct.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

  $\$25+\$5\omega =\$150$

A. Add $25$ to $150$ . Then divide by $5$ .

B. Divide $150$ by $5$ . Then add $25$ .

C. Subtract $25$ from $150$ . Then subtract $25$ .

Calculation:

To find the series of steps that could be used to solve the equation $25+5w=150$

The equation is solved as follows

  $25+5w=150$

Add $-25$ on both sides of equation

  $\begin{array}{l}5w=150-25\\ 5w=125\end{array}$

Divide both sides of equation with $5$

  $\begin{array}{l}w=\frac{125}{5}\\ w=25\end{array}$

So first subtract $25$ from $150$ . Then divide by $5$ .

Solution:-option(C)

Conclusion:

Therefore, the option C is correct.
