Answer:

well, 11 days

Step-by-step explanation:

if you were to put take out the y and put 2600 in the y place (2600=235x+15)

you solve that, and will come to 11 days

further explaining:

2600-15 = 2585

2585 / 235 = 11

( I'm not sure if this is right, the question is worded weird and almost doesn't make sense)

but I think it is looking for substitution

Hope this helps!

Answer:

I am given a number of cans, which is y, and I need to find the number of days, which is x. To do this, I would substitute 2600 for y, to get 2600 = 235x + 15. Solving for x, I would get x = 11. Thus, it would take 11 days to collect 2600 cans.
