Which of the following would eliminate the variable on the left side of the given equation?
36 - 19w = -6w + 41
A)add -19w
B)add 6w
C)add 19w
D)add -36
36=19w-6w+41
so answer would be C.

To eliminate the variable on the left side of the equation 36 - 19w = -6w + 41, you need to perform operations that will isolate the variable on one side of the equation.
In this case, you want to get rid of the -19w term on the left side. The goal is to move all terms with 'w' to one side of the equation and all the constants to the other side.
To eliminate the -19w term on the left side, you should add 19w to both sides of the equation. This will cancel out the -19w on the left side and result in:
36 - 19w + 19w = -6w + 41 + 19w
After simplifying the equation, you will have:
36 = 13w + 41
Therefore, the correct answer to eliminate the variable on the left side of the given equation is option C) add 19w.
