Rachel can make 3 bracelets in an hour. oliver can make only 2 bracelets in an hour, but he already has 5 completed bracelets. create a system of equations to determine when rachel will have the same number of bracelets as oliver. use complete sentences.

After 5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Rachel can make 3 bracelets in an hour.

Let y be the no of bracelets and x no of hours.

Then equation for Rachael would be y = 3x   ...  i

Oliver is having initially 5 completed bracelets and every hour he would make 2 new bracelets

Hence equation would be

y = 2x+5  ... ii

Our question is why both will be equal

y would be equal in both if 3x=2x+5

Or x=5

After 5 hours form the start, both will have same number of bracelets.
