You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hi, my name is Aaron I am in 10th grade and im in honors trig/pre-calc.
you need to make an equation.
x=hours
55x+55=65x
55=10x
x=5.5
Hope I helped. I would really appreciate your recommendation, their are plenty of other things I could be doing rather then spending time on this site helping people. Good luck! :)
