Answer:

X + 50 = 130

Explanation:

This is actually a subtraction equation although addition is how you set it up initially. X is the variable. You already have $50. You need $130.

To solve, subtract 50 from each side,

X + 50 - 50 = 130 - 50, and simplify,

X = 120.

Jordan will need $120 more to go to the Camp Rodeo Field Trip.

Hope this helps.
