I find it convenient to graph the difference of the two sides of the equation. That difference is zero when the equation is satisfied. This equation has two solutions, near x = -1.7 and x = 3.5.
Assuming you go to school for a week (7 days), you will go to school 7 * 4 = 28 hours in a week. There are about 4 weeks in a month, so you would do 28 * 4 = <u>112 hours</u>. Your answer is 112 hours.
