Answer:

5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:'

given data

Angelo charges a one time fee of $50 plus $15 per hour

let the total charge be y

and the number of hours be x

y= 50+15x----------------1

Deborah charges a one time fee of $25 plus $20 per hour

y= 25+20x----------------2

equate 1 and 2 to find x

50+15x=25+20x

collect like terms

50-25= 20x-15x

25= 5x

divide both sides by 5

x= 25/5

x= 5 hours
