500+(x115)=2685

the 500 is the money the club is putting towards the trip. the x is the number of club members. the 115 is the cost each member will pay to go on the trip.

subtract 500 from each side leaving you with
(x115)=2185
divide each side by 115
x=19
there are 19 club members going on the trip.
