Answer:

equation = 590 + 15x = 545 + 20x

No. of hours worked = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that both worked for same number of hours

and

Jeremy worked for for x hours

it meant that Hector also worked for x hours(it is also mentioned same in the problem)

now that we know the number of hours worked in form of x

lets find

total money in their account if they worked for x hours

___________________________________________

For Hector

Money in Hector's account = $590

Earning for Hector in 1 hour = $15

Earning for Hector in x hour = x*Earning for Hector in 1 hour = $15x

Total money in with Hector after x hours of work

 = Money in Hector's account + Earning for Hector in x hour = $590 + $15x

Similarly

For Jeremy

Money in Jeremys account = $545

Earning for Jeremy in 1 hour = $20

Earning for Jeremy in x hour = x*Earning for Jeremy in 1 hour = $20x

Total money in with Jeremy after x hours of work

 = Money in Jeremy's account + Earning for Jeremy in x hour = $545 + $20x

Given that they same amount of money

thus

$590 + $15x = $545 + $20x

$sign gets cancelled from both sides

590 + 15x = 545 + 20x  Thus, we got the required equation  

=> 590 - 545 = 20x - 15x

=> 45 = 5x

=> x = 45/5 = 9

Thus, both of them worked for 9 hours
