Explaining How to Find a Solution
Nicholas started a canned-food drive at school. The equation representing this is y = 235x + 15, where x is the number of days, and y is the number of cans collected. Explain how to determine how many days it would take to collect 2600 cans.

Set y = 2600 and solve for x:

2600 = 235x + 15
2600 − 15 = 235x
2585 = 235x
x = 2585 ÷ 235 = 11

So it takes 11 days. (Check: 235·11 + 15 = 2585 + 15 = 2600.)
