Rachel can make 3 bracelets in an hour. Oliver can make only 2 bracelets in an hour, but he already has 5 completed bracelets. Explain to Rachel how she can use a system of equations to determine when she will have the same number of bracelets as Oliver. Use complete sentences. You do not need to show any math for this answer.

Answer:

3x=5+2x would be the system of equations you would use. You have to take the number of bracelets made each hour (3x for Rachel and 2x for Oliver) and then remember to add the number of bracelets Oliver has already completed. The numbers represent the bracelets made, while the x (or whatever variable you choose to use) represents the hours spent. Then you solve for x, which ends up equaling 5. Therefore, after 5 hours, Rachel and Oliver will have the same number of bracelets.
