not sure what you need, but this is what i get.

the equation i come up with is:

y = 40 * x + 15 * (x + 5)

y is the what she makes for the week.
x is the regular pay she receives for the week.

if you know her regular pay, you can figure out what she made.

for example:

if she made 10 dollars an hour regular pay, then the forumula would becomes:

y = 40 * 10 + 15 * 15.

this would result in y = 400 + 225 = 625.

all you need to know is what her regular pay is.

this equation is good as is, but you can simplify if you want to.

the simplified equation of y = 40 * x + 15 * )(x + 5) would be:

y = 55 * x + 75

when x = 10, this equation would yield y = 550 + 75 = 625, same as the original equation that was not simplified.
