The pet sitter babysat his dog for 3 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that a pet sitter charges $ 20 for supplies and $ 10 per hour of service, represented by the equation C = 10*n + 20, which describes the total cost she would charge for n hours of service.

The pet sitter charges a customer $ 50 for his service, so C has a value of $ 50.

Replacing:

50=10*n+20

Solving:

50 - 20= 10*n +20 -20

30= 10*n

30÷10= n

3= n
