Answer:

The answer is - you can you transfer $235 from the first to the second account.

Explanation:

We have been given - You have two accounts with balances $450 and $35. you want to bring up the balance in the second account but do not want the balance of the first to drop below $215.

This means you can transfer
450-215=235 in second account making it
235+35=270

Hence, $235 can be transferred from first account to second account.
