Question 1208351: Jack is paid time-and-a-half for hours worked in excess than 40 hours and double-time for hours worked on Sunday. If Jack had a gross weekly wages of $456 for 50 hours, 4 of which were on Sunday, what is his regular hourly rate?

Jack works 40 regular hours at a regular rate.
He work 10 hours over 40.
Of the 10 hours of overtime work, 6 hours at 1.5x per hour and 4 of the 10 hours, he made double-time or 2x.
My set up:
40x + 6(1.5x) + 4(2x) = 456
Is this the correct equation?
