    After 5 hours

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given that Rachel can make 3 bracelets in an hour.

    Let y be the no of bracelets and x no of hours.

    Then equation for Rachael would be y = 3x ... i

    Oliver is having initially 5 completed bracelets and every hour he would make 2 new bracelets

    Hence equation would be

    y = 2x+5 ... ii

    Our question is why both will be equal

    y would be equal in both if 3x=2x+5

    Or x=5

    After 5 hours form the start, both will have same number of bracelets.
