Part A: (no overtime) E = 18x. Please note that x cannot exceed 35, thus E cannot exceed $630.
Part B: T = 25y + 18x where x = 35 hours. Thus, T = 25y + 630.
Part C: T = $730. 730 = 630 + 25y. Subtract 630 from both sides. 100 = 25y. Divide both sides by 25. y = 4. This is the number of overtime hours -- remember that Dominic has already worked 35 hours non-overtime. 35 + 4 = $730.
Find the amount of beads per inch:
12/5 = 2.4 (this doesn't make sense, but it will)
Now find the total beads on one foot, or 12 inches
2.4 x 12 = 28.8
Since 29 wont fit, 28 will be the largest whole number of beads that can fit on the string

Just substitute in the number 3 for x then subtract 3 at both sides and youll have y=7
