    Answer: 8 hours

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Company 1: 3.25x + 26

    Company 2: 3.50x + 24

    3.50x + 24 = 3.25x + 26

    0.25x + 24 = 26 subtracted 3.25x from both sides

    0.25x = 2 subtracted 24 from both sides

    x = 8 divided both sides by 0.25

    Check:

    Company 1: 3.25x + 26 = 3.25 (8) + 26 = $52

    Company 2: 3.50x + 24 = 3.50 (8) + 24 = $52
