Define a variable ** Let M be the number of hours Bryan spends on marketing posts.
How many hours does Bryan spend on advertisement posts? ** He spends 4 / 2 = <<4/2=2>>2 hours on advertisement posts a day.
How many hours does Bryan work in total? ** He works M + 4 + 2 = 8 hours a day.
How many hours does Bryan spend on marketing posts? ** Thus, Bryan spends M = 8 - 4 - 2 = <<8-4-2=2>>2 hours on marketing posts each day.
