Caitlin works at a department store and earns $12.75 per hour. She has $42 removed from every paycheck for medical insurance. If her goal is to earn a gross income of $633.75 in one week, which equation will help Caitlin determine the number of hours (h) she must work?

12.75x-42=633.75
+42=633.75+42
12.75x=675.75
x/12.75=675.75/12.75
x=53
