You can put this solution on YOUR website! I just answered the same question for someone else, except the character in the other problem was a girl:
-----------------------------------
If she has 15 and makes 6/hr:
6h+15 = 51
6h = 36
h = 6 it will take her 6 work hours to have 51
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Here we set m = 51 and then solve for the number of hours, h. So we write
m = 15 + 6h
51 = 15 + 6h
Now subtract 15 and then divide by 6 and get
36 = 6h
h = 6 hours
