Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Set up Equations

h is the amount of hours. Both workers make the same amount of money (l).

Rheehan:   l = 16h + 4

John:   l = 11h + 29

16h + 4 = 11h + 29

Step 2: Solve for h

  1. Subtract 11h on both sides:                    5h + 4 = 29
  2. Subtract 4 on both sides:                       5h = 25
  3. Divide 5 on both sides:                          h = 5
