Question

Ryan earns x dollars every seven days. Write an expression for how much Ryan earns in one day. Ryan’s spouse Lee is paid twice as much as Ryan. Write an expression for how much Lee earns in one day. Write an expression for their combined daily earnings.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

R=x/7 let's say R is what Ryan earned, and so he earns x dollars every seven days

L=2(R)

L=2(x/7)Let's say L is what Lee earned, she earned twice as much as Ryan so 2(x/7)

Total=2(x/7)+x/7

Total=3(x/7)   the total earnings is the sum of x/7 and 2x/7 is 3x/7
