Part A: W = 6x 

Part B: Since without overtime it is 6 $ per hour and you need to make 40 hours 
you would multiply 6 *40 = 240
So <u>S = 240 + 9y

</u>Part C: <u><em>Substitute</em></u><u />
Since Andrew earned 330 you would substitute it for <em>S</em> 
<u>
330 = 240 + 9y
</u> <--- solve for <u /><u><em>y</em><em /></u><em />

330  ( - 240 ) = 240 ( - 240 ) 9y  < ---- subtract 240 from each side 
90 = 9y 
90 / 9 = 9y / 9 <----- divide by 9 

10 =y   Andrew worked 10 hours for overtime  

<u><em /></u><u><em /></u><em /><u><em>Check </em></u><u><em /></u><em /> 
<u><em />
</u>
<u><em>330</em></u><u><em /></u><em> </em>= 240 + 9(10)
<u><em>330</em></u><u><em /></u><em /> = 240 + 90 
<u><em>330</em></u><u><em /></u><em /> = 330 <-- your answer is <u><em>10</em></u>
