Answer: Required equation: 400+25x = 2100

Variable: x = Number of days to donate 2100 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = Number of days.

y = Total pounds of food donated in x days.

Given: Initial amount of food = 400 pounds

Pounds of food donated per day = 25

Total food = Initial amount of food + (Pounds of food donated per day ) (Number of days)

y = 400+25x

Their goal is to collect 2100 pounds.

2100 = 400+25x [Substitute y= 2100]

Required equation: 400+25x = 2100

Variable: x = Number of days.
