Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

Earns per hour: $5.50

1 time fee : $2

Total = $35

( h - hours)

Equation :

5.50h + 2 = 35

First step is to suntract 2 from each side:

5.50h + 2 - 2 = 35 - 2

Simplify

5.50h = 33

Divide each side by 5.50 to seprate h from the numbers:

5.50h/5.50 = 33/ 5.50

H = 6

ANSWER: 6 hours
