Mrs. Blake needs to hire a babysitter. Kelsey charges $6 per hour plus a $5 fee. Lauren charges $4 per hour, plus a $10 fee. Mrs. Blake set up this equation to figure out for what amount of time both babysitters charge the same.

6h + 5 = 4h + 10

What is the correct sequence of steps to solve Mrs. Blake's equation?

A. Subtract 6h from both sides. Subtract 5 from both sides. Divide each side by - 2.

B. Subtract 4h from both sides. Subtract 5 from both sides. Divide each side by 2.

C. Subtract 4h from both sides. Add 5 to both sides. Divide each side by 2.

D. Subtract 4h from both sides. Subtract 5 from both sides. Divide each side by 6.
