Rachel: 3 bracelets in an hour.
Oliver: 2 bracelets in an hour but has completed 5 bracelets

Rachel : y = 3x
Oliver : y = 2x + 5

Let x be the number of hours. y is the total number of bracelets made in x hours.

3x = 2x + 5
3x - 2x = 5
x = 5

It would take 5 hours for Rachel to have the same number of bracelet as Oliver.

Rachel: 3x = 3(5) = 15
Oliver: 2x + 5 = 2(5) + 5 = 10 + 5 = 15

Answer:

Hence, she will have the same number of bracelets as oliver after 5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rachel can make 3 bracelets in an hour. Oliver can make only 2 bracelets in an hour, but he already has completed 5 bracelets.

Let b be the total number of bracelets made.

so the number of bracelets made by Rachel in 'h' hours is: b=3h

and the number of bracelets made by Oliver in 'h' hours is: b=2h+5.

We are asked to find the value of 'h' so that the number of bracelets made by both of them are equal.

i.e.

3h=2h+5

⇒  3h-2h=5

⇒  h=5.

Hence, she will have the same number of bracelets as oliver after 5 hours.

( and they will make b=3×5=15 bracelets )

xeze [42]

Some parts are missing in the queston. Find attached the picture with the complete question

Answer:

                   \large\boxed{\large\boxed{161}}

Explanation:

Let's put the information in a table step-by step.

                                                (number of remaining students)

                                                        Juniors          Seniors

Condition

  • Initially                                           J                     S
  • 15 seniors left                                                   S - 15
  • Twice juniors as seniors         2(S - 15)
  • 3/4 of the juniors left              1/4×2(S - 15)
  • 1/3 of seniors left                                             2/3×(S - 15)

At the end, there were 8 more seniors than juniors:

  • 2/3×(S - 15) -  1/4×2(S - 15) = 8

Now you have obtained one equation, which you can solve to find S, the number of senior students, and then the number of junior students.

Solve the equation:

2/3\times (S - 15) -  1/4\times 2(S - 15) = 8

  • Mutilply all by 12:

8(S - 15)-6(S - 15)=96

  • Distribution property:

8S-120-6S-90=96

  • Addtion property of equalities:

8S-6S=96+120+90

  • Add like terms:

2S=306

  • Division property of equalities:

S=306/2=153

That is the number of senior students that came out to the information meeting, but the number of students remaining to perform in the school musical is (from the table above):

2/3\times (S-15)+1/4\times 2(S-15)

Just substitute S with 153 fo find the number of students that remained to perfom in the musical:

          2/3\times (153-15)+1/4\times 2(153-15)\\ \\ 2/3(138)+1/2(138)

          161
