Answer:

They will have the same amount per hour after 8 years

Explanation:

For Cole, the increase is $0.75 yearly

For Adam, the increase is $2 every two years

The equation for Cole is:

12.50 + 0.75x

Where x is the number of years

The equation for Adam is:

10.50 + 2x/2

They are of the same pay rate when

12.50 + 0.75x = 10.50 + x

Solving for x, we have:

x - 0.75x = 12.50 - 10.50

0.25x = 2

x = 2/0.25

= 8

They will have the same amount per hour after 8 years
