    Answer: 5.5 Hours

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The equation to solve this question would be:

    17.50x + 125 = $221.25

    The first section represents the $17.50 per hour where x is the number of hours, $125 is the painting fee and $221.25 is the total cost of the job.

    To solve the equation first subtract 125 from each side:

    17.50x = 96.25

    Next, divide both sides by 17.50:

    X = 5.5
