Mason and his children went into a grocery store and he bought $8 worth of apples and bananas. Each apple costs $1 and each banana costs $0.50. He bought 2 more apples than bananas. By following the steps below, determine the number of apples, x, x, and the number of bananas, y, y, that Mason bought.
