Hello! Here are the answers to help you out!

Part A: M = 12x

Part B: T = 12x + 16y

Part C: As we know, 30 hours is the number of hours worked before going into overtime. 30 * 12 is 360. 408 - 360 = 48. 48/16 = 3. Gary worked 3 hours of overtime. The total numbers of hours he worked combined is 33 hours.
