Answer:

2x - 37 = 85

Explanations:

Number of crayons that Rachel has = 85

Let the number of crayons that Joshua has be represented by x

The number of crayons that Rachel has is 37 less than twice what Joshua has

Number of Rachel's crayons = 2(Number of Joshua's crayons) - 37

85 = 2x - 37

2x - 37 = 85

Therefore, the equation representing the given situation is:

2x - 37 = 85
