Zachary earns $5 per hour, and he makes a $20 bonus.

His equation is shown in red on the graph, y = 5x + 20.
Maisy earns $7.50 per hour, and she makes a $5 bonus.
Her equation is shown in blue on the graph, y = 7.50x +
5.
After how many hours do they earn the same amount of
money? Where do you see this on the graph?

Answer:

6 hours

we see it at the x value of 6 on the graph

Explanation:

I graphed it too using desmos then located the point where they cross, the solution point, and it was at the x value of 6 and they will have made $50 by the way in case you wanted to know that too so we see that on the graph at the point (6,50) is where they make the same amount of money.
