Provide a) the **EQUATION** and b) the solution for the following:
During a charity drive, the senior class raised $85 more than twice the amount raised by the freshman class. The senior class raised $555. How much did the freshman class raise?

Respuesta :

Answer:

y= 2x + 85

y= $555

x= $235

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y be the amount the senior class raised

Let x be the amount the freshmen class raised

Insert known values

$555 = 2x + $85

Subtract 85 from both sides

$470 = 2x

Isolate the variable (x) by dividing each side by 2

$235 = x

Hope this helps! :)
