Michaela's mom is trying to decide between two plumber companies to fix her sink. The first company charges $50 for a service call, plus an additional $36 per hour for labor. The second company charges $35 for a service call, plus an additional $39 per hour of labor. At how many hours will the two companies charge the same amount of money?
