In one hour, you will make 6*1 = 6 dollars.

In two hours, you will make 6*2 = 12 dollars.

...etc

So in x hours, you will make 6x dollars (6 times x)

Since you want $120, this means that . Simply divide both sides by 6 (dividing by 6 undoes multiplying by 6) to solve for x and get

So which means that you have to work for 20 hours to earn $120
