Answer:

Caleb and Devon each bowled for
10 hours and spent
\$55.

Explanation:

Equations:

  • Caleb: y = 4x + 15
  • Devon: y = 5x + 5

Where:

  • x = hours spent bowling
  • y = the total cost

System of equations:


\begin{cases}y=4x+15\\y=5x+5\end{cases}

Solve for x

Step 1: Substitute the second equation into the first.


\implies 4x+15=5x+5

Step 2: Subtract
5x from both sides


\implies 4x-5x+15=5x-5x+5


\implies -x+15=5

Step 3: Subtract
15 from both sides.


\implies -x+15-15=5-15


\implies -1x=-10

Step 4: Divide both sides by
-1 .


\implies (-1x)/(-1)=(-10)/(-1)


\implies \boxed{x=10}

Solve for y

Step 1: Substitute the found
x value into one of the system of equations.


\implies y=4(10)+15

Step 2: Multiply and add.


\implies y=40+15


\implies \boxed{y=55}

Therefore, Caleb and Devon each bowled for 10 hours and spent $55.
