Answer:

h = 5 :)

Explanation:

Nick has planted 20 flowers and can plant 7 flowers an hour, Rachel planted 5 flowers and can plant 10 flowers an hour.

f = 7h + 20

f = 10h + 5

f = 7(1) + 20 = 27

f = 10(1) + 5 = 15

(Not this one)

f = 7(2) + 20 = 34

f = 10(2) + 5 = 25

(nope..)

f = 7(3) + 20 = 41

f = 10(3) + 5 = 35

(nope!)

f = 7(4) + 20 = 48

f = 10(4) + 5 = 45

(close, but no)

f = 7(5) + 20 = 55

f = 10(5) + 5 = 55

(Yes!)
