For this case we must find the value of "x" of the following expression:

Multiplying by 2 on both sides of the equation:

Subtracting 8x from both sides of the equation:

Adding 16 to both sides:

Dividing between -2 on both sides:

Answer:

Lanzetta Elem. raised 5358....round to 5,000
Lantana Mid. Sch raised 2834....round to 3,000
Atlanta High Sch. raised 4132...round to 4,000
they need 14,000...they have (5,000 + 3,000 + 4,000) = 12,000....so they will need (14,000 - 12,000) = 2,000 more....keep in mind, these are estimates...not exact answers
4(2k - 3) + 1 = 8k - 11
8k - 12 + 1 = 8k - 11
8k - 11 = 8k - 11
So, these two equations equal to the same thing.
Glad I could help and gave a fantastic day!
2 + x = -19 <=> x = -19 -2 = -21
