Sagot :

Answer: Almost 232 students going on the field trip.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of students going on the field trip.

As per given,

[tex]2x+35 \leq500[/tex], where [tex]x\geq2[/tex].

To solve the inequality , subtract 35 from both sides

[tex]2x\leq465\\\\x\leq232.5[/tex] [divide both sides by 2]

i.e Almost 232 students going on the field trip.
