Question 943024: Bobo is spinning five fewer plates than Nunu (Bobo dropped a few). Nunu is spinning 17 plates. Altogether, how many plates are Bobo and Nunu spinning? Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x = number of bobo plates
y = number of nunu plates
---
x = y - 5
y = 17
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
x - y = -5
y = 17
---
