Answer by algebrahouse.com(1659) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x = dollars for replacement parts

64(3) + x = 284 {64 per hour, for 3 hours, plus x for replacement parts, equals 284}
192 + x = 284 {multiplied}
x = 92 {subtracted 192 from each side}

$92 for replacement parts
