Evan earns $12 an hour plus $15 an hour for every hour of overtime. Overtime hours are any hours more than 30 hours for the week. Part A: Create an equation that shows the amount of money earned, M, for working x hours in a week when there is no overtime.
Part B: Create an equation that shows the amount of wages earned, T, for working y hours of overtime. Hint: Remember to include in the equation the amount earned from working 30 hours.
Part C: Evan earned $510 in 1 week. How many hours (regular plus overtime) did he work?

a: m=12h
b: t=12h+15y
c: 510=12h+15y
12*30=360
510=360+15y
15y=15y=10
10+30=40
he worked 40 hours
