.
Part A: Create an equation that shows the amount of wages earned, W, for working x hours in a week when there is no overtime.

Part B: Create an equation that shows the amount of wages earned, S, for working y hours of overtime. Hint: Remember to include in the equation the amount earned from working 40 hours.

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>

Mickey and Donald earn $53 weekend after taxes Mickeys share is seven dollars greater than Donald's how much does Donald earn ea
igor_vitrenko [27]

Donald earns $23 each weekend and Mickey earns $30.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Money earned by Mickey and Donald = $53

Let,

Share of Mickey = x

Share of Donald = y

According to given statement;

x+y=53    Eqn 1

x = y+7     Eqn 2

Putting value of x from Eqn 2 in Eqn 1

(y+7)+y=53\\y+7+y=53\\2y=53-7\\2y=46

Dividing both sides by 2

\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{46}{2}\\y=23

Putting y=23 in Eqn 2

x=23+7\\x=30

Donald earns $23 each weekend and Mickey earns $30.
