Question

Mason works h hours each day during the 5 day workweek. He also works 5 hours on the weekends. Write two equivalent expressions for the number of hours mason works each week

Answer 1

5h+5

5(h+1)

Explanation:

Equivalent expressions are the ones that look different but are the same. As the statement says that mason works h number of hours during the 5 day week and 5 hours on the weekend, you can write the following expression:

5h+5

h= number of hours Mason works

Then, you can find the common factor to get an equivalent expression:

5(h+1)

According to this, the equivalent expressions are:

5h+5

5(h+1)
