On Tuesday, Marissa was $45 short of her fundraising goal. The next day, she was $5 over her goal write an equation to show how much she raised in one day.

Sagot :

Answer: Hello daema, let's let x be the goal and c be the collection per day.

x - 45 + c = x + 5 is the answer so now let's talk about how we did that.

So she wants to get to x which is the goal. But right now she has 45 less than what her goal is. So that would look like this x - 45 now she has to get c or the collection per day to get to her goal. So now it looks like this x - 45 + c. Now that c has to be at least x which is her goal, it now will look like this x - 45 + c = x. But we're not done, the question said that now she 5$ over her goal, or x. So we have to add the + 5 onto the end so now it looks like this x - 45 + c = x + 5. To solve the equation "if you have to" it would be x = 50$ per day.
