Rebecca won some tokens at the arcade. She had a hole in her pocket, so she ended up losing 5 of the tokens Even though she lost some of them, she still has some tokens left over. Write an equation to represent the number of tokens Rebecea has now. Use $x$ to represent the beginning tokens and $y$ to represent the ending tokens.

Step 1 ：Rebecca won some tokens at the arcade. She had a hole in her pocket, so she ended up losing 5 of the tokens Even though she lost some of them, she still has some tokens left over. We are asked to write an equation to represent the number of tokens Rebecca has now. We use $x$ to represent the beginning tokens and $y$ to represent the ending tokens.

Step 2 ：The question is asking for an equation that represents the number of tokens Rebecca has now. We know that she started with some amount of tokens, represented by $x$, and she lost 5 tokens. The remaining tokens she has now is represented by $y$. Therefore, we can write an equation that subtracts the 5 lost tokens from the starting amount to equal the ending amount.

Step 3 ：The equation correctly represents the situation described in the question. The starting number of tokens is $x$, and after losing 5 tokens, the remaining number of tokens is $y$. Therefore, the equation is $x - 5 = y$.

Step 4 ：Final Answer: The equation that represents the number of tokens Rebecca has now is \(\boxed{x - 5 = y}\).
