Brad and Jack do some fundraising for their sporting teçm. Together they raised 209 dollars. If Brad raised m dollars, and Jack raised 73 dollars:

Question

a) Write an equation that represents the relationship between the amounts each contributed. (Note that we are not looking to solve for m yet.)

b) find m.

Answer 1

m + 73 = 209

m = 209-73 Brad's amount = total amount minus Jack's amount

= $136 raised by Brad

136+73 = 209
