17 = 3(4x - 5)
<em><u>Distributive property.</u></em>
17 = 12x - 15
<em><u>Add 15 to both sides.</u></em>
32 = 12x
<em><u>Divide both sides by 12.</u></em>
x = 2.67. (This is your answer.)

I believe the last one about right triangles. That’s why Pythagorean Theorem works.
Answer:
$31.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's set up an equation.
$220. 28 - total
$126.53 - cost for parts
3 - # of hours
? - price per hour
3h + $126.53 = $220.28
Subtract $126.53 from both sides.
3h = $93.75
Divide by 3.
h = $31.25
The mechanic charges $31.25 per hour for labor.
Hope that helps.
