Question 1111510
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.
