Answer : $18.75

Bethany is paid time-and-a-half for each hour she works above her normal 40 hours each week. Last week, Bethany worked 44 hours and her gross pay was $575.

Total hours worked = 44 hours

Normal 40 hours + 4 hours extra

Let x be the amount earned for 1 hour for regular 40 hours

1.5x be the amount earned for extra hours

40 (amount earned for normal hours ) + 4(amount for extra hours ) = gross pay

40x + 4(1.5x) = 575

40x + 6x = 575

46 x = 575

Now divide both sides by 46

x = 12.5

1.5x is the amount earned for extra hours

1.5 * 12.5 = 18.75

Bethany earn for each hour of overtime she worked is $18.75

option 3 . (5x + 1) - (-10x + 6)

step-by-step explanation:

option 1 :

(4x + 3) + (-9x + 4)

or 4x+3 -9x + 4

or -5x + 7

option 2

(x - 2) - (6x - 9)

or x-2-6x + 9

or -5x + 7

option 3

(5x+ + 6)

or 5x + 1 + 10x -6

or 15x -5

option 4

-4x+2x+7-3x

-7x + 2x + 7

-5x + 7

hence only option 3 did   not satisfy the given simplify expression.
