cash gifting defined
Easy algebra…………….?

define a variable and write an equation for the situation.

A library receives a large cash donation and uses the funds to double the # of books it owns. Then a book collector gives the library 4,028 books. After this, the library has 51,514 books. How many books did the livrary have before the cash donation and the gift of books??

thanks!! (:

x = the original # of books.
x also = the books bought with the donation.

x + x + 4028 = 51514
