Shane plans on finding a summer job so he can earn enough money to buy a new laptop that costs $595. He has already saved $150. If Shane finds a summer job that pays him $7.50 an hour after taxes are withheld, what is the minimum number of hours he will have to work in order to purchase the laptop?

The equation would be $7.50x+150=595. Find x, which is the number of hours he has to work.
