    Answer: 15

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let x =  the number of players the team can bring to the tournament.

    Given: Soccer team raised $2158 for tournament.

    Bus rent = $1130.50  and budget per player for meals = $68.50

    Total cost of tournament = Bus rent + (budget per player for meals) ( number of players the team)

    2158=1130.50+68.50x\\\\\Rightarrow\ 68.50x=2158-1130.50\\\\\Rightarrow\ 68.50x=1027.5\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{1027.5}{68.5}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=15

    Hence, the number of players the team can bring to the tournament = 15
