    Let x be Kelly's regular pay

    Her pay for the day can be modelled by the equation 8x + 4 (x + 10) = 160

    Solve for x

    8x + 4x + 40 = 160

    8x + 4x = 160 - 40

    12x = 120

    x = 10

    Kelly's regular pay per hour is $10

    4 overtime hours - regular pay + $40

    Total $ earned - $160

    Total hours - 12 hours (8 reg + 4 overtime)

    $160 - $40 = $120

    $120/12 = $10

    Her regular pay is $10 per hour.
