9. A company is looking to hire a painter. One painter states that their fee can be determined by

using the expression 50x + 100 where x is the number of hours it takes to paint. A second painter
states that their fees can be determined by using the expression 40x + 125. The company wants
to know when the fee would be the same for each painter. What number of hours makes the
equation 50x + 100 = 40x + 150 true?
