Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Here's José's equation.

J=2a+15

And here is Nancy's.

N=3a+5

We want to find the number of animals where they are the same amount, or where J=N. We can write these equations as equal and solve for a to find the answer!

2a+15=3a+5

Subtract 15 from both sides.

2a=3a-10

Subtract 3a from both sides.

-a=-10

Divide both sides by -1.

a=10

Therefore, José and Nancy charge the same amount for 10 animals.

Have a wonderful day! :D
