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
