Answer:

  3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let k represent Kyle's balance after h hours. Let s represent Sophia's balance after h hours. Then we have ...

  k = 25 +2h

  s = 4 +9h

We want to find h so that k=s:

  25 +2h = 4 +9h

  21 = 7h . . . . . subtract 4+2h

  3 = h . . . . . . . divide by 7

If both work 3 hours, they will have the same amount of money.
