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.
