Answer:
100 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Law firm A = 350x + 22,000,
Law firm B = 410x+16,000
Where,
x = number of hours of legal assistance
What number of hours of legal assistance makes the equation 350x+22,000 = 410x+16,000 true?
Equate the legal fees of the two law firms
350x + 22,000 = 410x + 16,000
Collect like terms
350x - 410x = 16,000 - 22,000
-60x = -6,000
Divide both sides by -60
x = -6,000 / -60
= 100
x = 100 hours
The number of hours of legal assistance makes the equation true is 100 hours
