*NOT MY WORK ITS FROM SOMEONE ELSE WHO ASKED THE SAME PROBLEM*

Answer: x=15, y= 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer: x=15, y=10

*Note: x and y are only variables used to solve this problem, but know that the two numbers are 15 and 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we can use system of equations. Let's use x for one number and y for the other.

First Equation:

x+y=25

We get this equation because it states that the sum of the two numbers is 25.

Second Equation:

y=x-5

We get this equation because it says one number (y) is 5 less than the other (x).

Since we have two equations, we can use substitution method to solve.

                                 [distribute 1 to (x-5)]

                                    [combine like terms]

                                        [add both sides by 5]

                                               [divide both sides by 2]

Now that we have x, we can plug it into any of the equations to find y.

                                         [plug in x=15]

                                        [subtract both sides by 15]

Finally, we have our answer, x=15 and y=10.

X+x-5=25
2x-5= 25
2x=30
X=15
So the larger number is 15 , it’s easy to figure it out but you could get mark for workingnout

To rent a bounce house: At Mike's Bounce Shop costs $30 plus $2 per hour. At Jose's Bounce Rentals, it costs $12 plus $8 per hou
ANEK [815]

Answer: After 3 hours both will have the same cost.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = Number of hours and y be the total cost.

Total cost = Initial cost + (cost per hour)(Number of hours)

At Mike's Bounce Shop,

Total cost (y)= 30+2x

At Jose's Bounce Rentals,

Total cost(y) =  12+8x

When both shops have the same cost, then

12+8x=30+2x\\\\\Rightarrow\ 8x-2x=30-12\\\\\Rightarrow\ 6x=18\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=3

Total cost = 12+8(3)=12+24=$36

Hence, After 3 hours both will have the same cost.
