D) 7x + 35

Answer 1

To find Eliza's daily gross pay, divide her total pay for 7 days (35x + 49) by 7, resulting in the expression 5x + 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student askes to write an expression that represents Eliza's daily gross pay d, given her total gross pay for 7 workdays is 35x + 49.

To determine her daily gross pay, we divide the total gross pay by the number of days she worked (7 days). So the expression is (35x + 49) ÷ 7.

Breaking it down, we get:
