    An auto repair bill was $563. This includes $188 for parts and $75 for each hour of labor. Find the number of hours of labor

    Let the number of hours of labor be h. We have the cost function C(h):
    C(h) = Hourly Labor Rate * h + parts

    Given 188 for parts, 75 for hourly labor rate, and 563 for C(h), we have:
    75h + 188 = 563

    To solve this equation for h, we type it in our search engine and we get:
    h = 5
