Ashlee Salinas · Answer 1

500 + (x115) = 2685

the 500 is the money the club is putting towards the trip. the x is the number of club members. the 115 is the cost each member will pay to go on the trip.

subtract 500 from each side leaving you with

(x115) = 2185

divide each side by 115

x=19

there are 19 club members going on the trip.
