$29 + $4.50x = $42.50
$29-29 + $4.50x = $42.50-$29
$4.50x = $13.50
$4.50x/$4.50 = $13.50/$4.50
x = 3

She can buy 3 bracelets.

The number of bracelets Mr Gonzales could buy is 5.

What is the number of bracelets that Mr Gonzales can buy?

$42.50 = $20 + $4.50x

Combine similar terms

$42.50 - $20 = $4.50x

$22.50 = $4.50x

Divide both sides of the equation by 4.50

x = 5
