PLEASE HURRY!

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.

Answer:

11 days

Explanation:

because Nicholas was given a number of cans, which is y, and I need to find the number of days, which is x. To do this, I would substitute 2600 for y, to get 2600 = 235x + 15. Solving for x, I would get x = 11. Thus, it would take 11 days to collect 2600 cans.
