It looks like all you have to do is plug 25 in for w in the top equation and you will get your answer.

i dont know how to solve it to do i distubite or subtract first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Order of operations = PEDMAS Parenthesis Exponent Division/Multiplication Addition/Subtraction You would distribute first.

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

Plug in w. When you plug it in, the equation would look like: \[\large \large 25(100-25)\]

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

Or do the parenthesis first.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Actually since you are working with numbers and not variables, do the subtraction instead of distribution.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then you are left with multiplication.

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

Exactly. So what does 100-25 give you, mellisa?
