Ok so I dont seee it so here.
Part A: She works for x hrs (we are ignoring the given hours for now) a week, right? She also earns $8 an hour. You are looking for w, so it's going to be w = what?

Answer 10

8

Good

Answer 12

Part B: So, we are looking for how much she earns (now represented by "S," don't let that confuse you, we are just changing the variable) PLUS hours working overtime (represented by y). It says to not forget how much she earns for working her regular hours. To find that amount, solve the FIRST equation we made for 40 hrs. Just plug in 40 where "x" is and find the answer.

w=8(40) = 320
Now for S = ?

Answer 31

not sure

Answer 32

just tell me what part a part b and part c are then we discuss it please

Answer 33

Ok

Answer 34

let me write it down then

Answer 35

ok

Answer 36

Part A: W=8x where x equals amount of hours, and W equals wages.
Part B: S=8x+12(y) where y equals overtime hours and S equals wages
Part C: 368=8(40)+12(y)
-320=12(y)
48=12y
48/12=y
4=y
x=40, y=4.
X+Y=44 hours

Answer 37

There enjoy.
