Answer:
b. 
f. 17 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Charges for coming to my house = $68 (this will be the constant of the equation)
Amount charged per hour labor = $17
hours = h
Total amount paid to Mike = 357
The equation that represents this situation can be expressed as:

Solve for h
(subtraction property of equality)

(division property of equality)

Mike was in my house for 17 hours.
It’s a bc:AB and BC don’t form a line and share an endpoint
2x+10=0
subtract 10 from both sides
2x=(-10)
divide 2 from both sides
x=-5
