Lana makes $8 an hour plus $12 an hour for every hour of overtime. Overtime hours are any hours more than 40 hours for the week. Part A: Create an equation that shows the amount of wages earned, W, for working x hours in a week when there is no overtime.

Part B: Create an equation that shows the amount of wages earned, S, for working y hours of overtime. Hint: Remember to include in the equation the amount earned from working 40 hours.

Part C: Lana earned $368 in 1 week. How many hours (regular plus overtime) did she work? Show your work.

A:  W = 8x

B:  12y + 320

C:  44

Step-by-step explanation:

A:  Lana can make $8 an hour.

W = 8x

B:  She makes $12 per hour for every hour of overtime.  This means that she already worked 40 hours with regular pay.  She has already made $320.

40 × $8 = $320

S = 12y + 320

C:  Plug in the amount Lana earned into the second equation.  The second equation will account for pay from both regular and overtime hours.

S = 12y + 320

368 = 12y + 320

368 - 320 = (12y + 320) - 320

48 = 12y

48/12 = (12y)/12

4 = y

y = 4

Lana worked 4 hours of overtime and 40 hours of regular hours.  In total, she worked 44 hours.

4 + 40 = 44

answer:   segregation violated the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment, which holds that no state can “deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

details/explanation:

brown v. board of education of topeka, decided by the us supreme court in 1954, ruled that all americans are entitled to the same civil liberties and protections in regard to access to education. until that decision, it was legal to segregate schools according to race, so that black students could not attend the same schools as white students.   an older supreme court decision, plessy v. ferguson (1896), had said that separate, segregated public facilities were acceptable as long as the facilities offered were equal in quality.   in the case of brown v. board of education, that standard was challenged and defeated.   segregation was shown to create inequality, and the supreme court unanimously ruled segregation to be unconstitutional.

the ruling was important in advancing civil rights because it affirmed that the 14th amendment applies to all rights and privileges of citizens, including access to   education.   this was being violated by states whose laws supported the segregation of schools.   section 1 of the 14th amendment reads as follows:
