Answer:

It will take 1 hour and they will have 11 baskets

Step-by-step explanation:

Dave

6 + 5h = b

Emily

9 + 2h=b

where h = hours  and b = baskets

Setting the equations equal to each other

6+5h = 9+2h

Subtracting 2h from each side

6+3h = 9

Subtracting 6 from each side

3h = 3

Divide by 3

h =1

Then finding b

9+2h = b

9+2 =b

11=b

It will take 1 hour and they will have 11 baskets
