Sophie earns a salary of $500 per month for working 3 hours a day.
In may, sophie worked additional hours at $12 per hour and earned $536 for the month.
write an equation to model this situation where m is the number of additional hours she worked in may?
536 = 500 + 12m
------
find the total number of additional hours she worked in may?

12m = 536-500
12m = 36
m = 3 hours
