Question 953812: A person's job us to inspect hand-painted glassware before pieces are packed for shipping. At the start of the work shift, there are 18 glass ready for inspection. The person can inspect 6 glasses every hour. If throughout work day, 4 additional classes become ready for inspection each hour, create an equestion that represents the number of glasses (g) that are waiting for inspection after h hours of the person's shift?
I came up with g=18+4h/6h but answer is g=2(9-h).
How is that the answer?
I am studying for my teaching license and struggling with math. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

----
g(h) = 18 - 6h + 4h
----
g(h) = 18 - 2h
----
g(h) = 2(9-h)
