Luke and Mike have some □.
Luke has 5 fewer □ than \( {3 \over 8}\)of the total number of □.
Miko has 25 □.
How many □ do they have altogether?
+36916 x = total numer of items
Luke has 3/8 x - 5 <==== this is given
the remainder will be x - ( 3/8 x -5) and this equals Miko's 25
x - (3/8 x - 5 ) = 25
5/8x + 5 = 25
x = 32 total items
