Write a system of equations to describe the situation below, solve using substitution, and fill in the blanks.

Kendra's Bakery recently spent a total of $134 on new equipment, and their average hourly operating costs are $20. Their average hourly receipts are $22. The bakery will soon make back the amount it invested in equipment. How many hours will that take? What would the total expenses and receipts both equal?​
