    Answer: Sheldon babysat for 6 hours on Saturday.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let x represent the number of hours that Sheldon babysat on Saturday.

    He babysat for Saturday and Sunday. If Sheldon babysat for 8 hours on Sunday, it means that the total number of hours that he babysat during the weekend was

    (8 + x) hours.

    Seldon gets paid $4 per hour to baby sit his cousins. It means that the total amount that he earned during the weekend was 4 (8 + x)

    He made a total of $56. Therefore,

    4 (8 + x) = 56

    8 + x = 56/4 = 14

    x = 14 - 8

    x = 6 hours
