Answer:
8 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation is 2.25X + 3.50 = 21.50
X represents the unknown amount of hours she worked. 2.25 is the cost per hour. 3.50 is the fee she charges for every gig. That fee only happens once a gig so naturally it wasn't the number x was placed with.
2.25X + 3.50 = 21.50
2.25X + 3.50 - 3.50 = 21.50 - 3.50
2.25X = 18
2.25X = 18
2.25 2.25
X = 8
