Question

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.

I'll post what i have down below

Answer 1

Since Rachel makes 3 bracelets in an hour, the equation would be y=3h.
3 represents the rate of change and h represents the number of hours.

Oliver's equation is y=2h+5 because 2 is the rate of change and 5 isthe number of completed bracelets.

Well right now i just need help solving

y=3x
y=2x+5
