Answer:
8x+6y
46 hours worked
Explanation:
The expression to find the total hours the server works for x weekdays and y weekend days is : 8x+6y
Remember, in the place of x and y are the actual hours. For example,
8(5) + 6(2) = 62 hours worked (thats a lot of work)
I had worked 5 weekdays and for each weekday I worked 8 hours according to the equation. I had worked 2 weekend days and for each weekend day I worked 2 hours; resulting in 62 hours total work.
Now, the last question is basically asking you to replace x and y with it's numerical value. x ( weekdays ) is 5 and y (weekend days) is 1.
8(5) + 6 = 46 hours worked
