Sophia and Patricia do some fundraising for their school. Together they raised 599 dollars.
If Sophia raised 207 more than Patricia. Write an equation in terms of P that represent the relationship
between the different amounts and solve for P.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


The equation is


    P        + (P+207) = 599.      (1)

    (Patricia + Sophia = 599)


Solve equation (1) step by step


    2P + 207 = 599

    2P = 599 - 207

    2P = 392

    P  = 392/2 = 196.     <<<---===  solved for P.    ANSWER

Is everything clear to you in my solution ?
