    Part A : w = 8x

    part B : s = 8x + 12y or if ur including the equation above, s = w + 12y

    part C : 368 = 8 (40) + 12y

    368 = 320 + 12y

    368 - 320 = 12y

    48 = 12y

    48/12 = y

    4 = y

    so she worked 40 hrs regular pay (320) + 4 hrs overtime (48) for a

    total of 368
