Answer 1

Answer: Almost 232 students going on the field trip.

Explanation:

Let x be the number of students going on the field trip.

As per given,

`2x+35 \leq500`, where
`x\geq2`.

To solve the inequality , subtract 35 from both sides

`2x\leq465\\\\x\leq232.5` [divide both sides by 2]

i.e Almost 232 students going on the field trip.
