  about 822 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

If h is the number of hours for which you are paid $10.25 per hour, then the number you need is ...

  8425 = 10.25h

Divide by the coefficient of h:

  8425/10.25 = 10.25h/10.25

  821.95121...(5-digit repeating decimal)

You need to work about 822 hours to earn $8425.

Your pay for 822 hours will be $8425.50. If taxes are deducted, you need to work a while longer.

graphically?   well, you graph them both, the solutions is where they both intersect each other, since there are two solutions, meaning they will meet twice, or namely the linear will run into the quadratic curve twice, and where they meet, those x,y coordinates are the solutions to the system.
