Question

Harriet earns the same amount of money each day. Her gross pay at the end of 7 work days is 35h + 56 dollars. Which expression represents her gross pay each day?

Answer 1

The expression that represents her gross pay each day will be:
`(5h+8)` dollars.

Explanation:

Suppose, Harriet's gross pay each day
`= x`

So, her total gross pay for 7 work days
`=7*x= 7x`

Given that, her gross pay at the end of 7 work days is
`(35h + 56)` dollars.

So, the equation will be.......

`7x= 35h+56 \\ \\ x=(35h+56)/(7)\\ \\ x=(35h)/(7)+(56)/(7)\\ \\ x=5h+8`

Thus, the expression that represents her gross pay each day will be:
`(5h+8)` dollars.
