The total number of hours worked by Ms. Lynette would be <em>(x + 3)</em>, as we know from the statement that she has worked overtime twice this week. One day overtime has already been given which is <em>3</em> so if we assume that she has worked overtime x number of hours, then we can say that the total number of hours would be <em>(x + 3)</em>. The pay rate for overtime is <em>$19.5</em> per hour which should be equal to the total payout amount of overtime hours worked which is <em>$146.25</em>.
Let us put these values in equation to find x, number of hours worked on second day;
$19.5 (x + 3) = $146.25
19.5x + 58.5 = 146.25
19.5x = 146.25 - 58.5
x = 87.75 / 19.5
x = 4.5
Hence, Ms. Lynette has worked overtime <em>4.5</em> hours on the second day.
You can also use a colorless blending pencil to help blend colors without adding any further pigment. To do this, lay down a fine layer of colorless blender first and then add your lightest color. Dark colors can be difficult to blend once they stick to the paper fibers, so this base helps alleviate that issue. Smudging With Paper and Tortillons
