Question

Marty's class collected $14.00 in a school-wide penny collection contest. If Tommy's class subtracted $2.10 from the amount they collected, x, and then multiplied the difference by 2, they would have the same amount of money as Marty's class.

2(x - $2.10)= $14.00

How much money did Tommy's class collect?
$13.30
$2.10
$9.10
$11.20

Answer 3

The variable in the equation represents the amount Tommy's class collected so simply solve the equation for x...

1. Distribute

2x + 5.40 = 21.00

2. Isolate the variable

2x = 15.60

x = 7.80
