Answer:

5x+20y=425

Step-by-step explanation:

Its 5 bucks for x pairs of skates

Its 20 dollars for y bikes

x+y rentals have to equal 25

all of this is equal to 425. All that is left to do is test with number until the statement is true.

try :

5(5)+(20)(20)=425

x + y do equal 25, and the total is equal to 425.
