Ace Movers charges $100.00 plus $30.00 per hour to move a house across town. Hanks Movers charges $55.00 per hour. For what length of time does it cost less to hire Hanks' Movers?

For Ace Movers, the cost is $100 plus $30x, where x is the number of hours. Hanks is $55x.
30x+100=55x
100=25x
4=x
Therefore, after 4 hours, Ace Movers are cheaper.
