X + y = 15
Rearrange this to isolate for x.
x = 15 - y
x + z = 20
Rearrange this to isolate for x also.
x = 20 - z
Since they are both equal to x, that means they are equal to each other (x = x)
Set them equal to each other.
15 - y = 20 - z
Now, isolate for y.
y = 15 - 20 + z
Now, use y + z = 25 and isolate for y.
y = 25 - z
Since they are both equal to y, we set them equal to each other.
15 - 20 + z = 25 - z
Solve for z
z + z = 25 - 15 + 20
2z = 30
2z/2 = 30/z
z = 15
Now you can plug the value for z into the other equations to find y and x.
x + z = 20
x +15 = 20
x = 20-15
x = 5
y + z = 25
y + 15 = 25
y = 25 - 15
y = 10
16.4
20.5/5=4.1
4.1*4=16.4

What? I have an idea of what your saying but i'm not positive. Can you explain better please?
Since the photo booth charges a $500 fee for two hours at the party and an additional 50 dollars per hour, we have:
50x+500=C
Where x is the hours stayed and C is the total cost. Since Cindy doesn't want to spend more than 700 dollars, we have:
So she spent an additional 4 hours on the rental.
Y+6=7/1(x-6)
y=7/1x-48
hope that helps!
