What is an equation and its solution?

When two expressions are connected with the equals sign (=) in a math equation, it expresses the equality of the two expressions. A number that may be entered for the variable to produce a true number statement is the solution to an equation.

Let the hours Amelia need to work=h

Amalia paid=$20

Payment of each hour=$2.50

So, we can make an equation with given problem

40=20+2.50h

40-20=2.5h

20=2.5h

[tex]h=\frac{20}{2.5}[/tex]

h= 8
