Question 1072217: Hi, I am having some trounble trying to figure out this problem... Can you please help me? Here's the problem:
The Madison High School Marching Band sold gift wrap to earn money for a band trip. Solid color gift wrap sells for $4 per roll and printed gift wrap sells for $6 per roll. The band needs to earn $2340 for an upcoming competition. If the band sells 340 rolls of printed paper, write and solve a linear equation to find the number of solid paper they must sell.

Solid Color, x rolls
Printed, 340 rolls

highlight_green%284x%2B6%2A340=2340%29

4x=2340-6%2A340
x=%282340-6%2A340%29%2F4
x=300%2F4

highlight%28x=75%29
