find the number of hours which the cost are the same. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

so i used trial and error and insert numbers starting for 2 and i found out that:

3.25*5 hours=16.25 which + 14.75 the fee is equal to 31/ 

and for the other company 26+1*5=26+5=31

and there u go the number of hours is 5.
