susan and jan sold T-Shirts for a fundraiser. Together they sold 85. Jan sold 5 less than twice the amount of susan. write a 1 variable linear equation to model the Situation and solve the equation so that we can find how many shirts each girl sold
Answered by mathhelper
susan's sales --- x
Jan's sales = 2x - 5

x + 2x - 5 = 85

solve for x
