You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let f= the amount raised by the fundraiser
f+-+1750 = amount raised after expenses
If $5000 were added to this amount, it would
meet the goal of paying for both surgeries
f+-+1750+%2B+5000+=+45000
f+%2B+3250+=+45000
f+=+41750
f+-+1750+=+41750+-+1750
f+-+1750+=+40000
$20,000 went into each of the twins surgery costs
