Given parameters:

To solve this problem, we need follow it stepwisely.

Let the amount raised by Manny  = M

             amount raised by Ada  = A

Now, let us go through the problem sentence by sentence and interpret it algebraically;

  • Manny raised $7 less than twice what Ada raised.

Algebraically;

             M  = 2A - 7    ----- (I)

  • Manny made $45 more than Ada.

             M  = A + 45    ----- (II)

Now that we have established two equations we can equate them and solve for A;

             2A - 7 = A + 45

             2A - A  = 45 + 7

                 A  = 52

Ada raised $52 during the fundraiser event.
