x=11
It's quite simple because if you do something to one side of the equation, you need to do it to the other because otherwise the equation won't be equal. This is how you need to simplify most problems, by taking something from one side and taking from the other as well.
Basically its 250 + 16x = 210 + 18x where x = the number of hours doing the job.
Solving, we get 40 = 2x, x =20
The jobs has to be 20 hours long in order for their two painting jobs to be equally priced.

Complete question:
Joel has a goal to practice his clarinet for 4 1/2 per week. The list below shows the number of hours Joel has a practiced so far for the week. Monday 1 1/2 hours Wednesday 1 1/4 hours Thursday 1 hour How many more hours does he need to practice this week to meet his goal
Answer: 3/4 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Target hours = 4 1/2 hours = 9/2 hours
Number of hours so far :
(1 1/2 + 1 1/4 + 1) = (3/2 + 5/4 + 1) hours
Total so far :
L. C. M of denominator = 4
(6 + 5 + 4) /4 = 15/4
Number of hours left to meet his target equals :
Target hours - total so far
( 9/2 - 15/4)
L. C. M of denominator = 4
(18 - 15) / 4 = 3/4 hours
.
