Answer: the cost of each snack Hannah buys each day

Step-by-step explanation: Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

5(4.5+x)=28.75

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

5(4.5+x)=28.75

(5)(4.5)+(5)(x)=28.75

(Distribute)

22.5+5x=28.75

5x+22.5=28.75

Step 2: Subtract 22.5 from both sides.

5x+22.5−22.5=28.75−22.5

5x=6.25

Step 3: Divide both sides by 5.

5x/5 and 6.25/5

X=1.25

That is the price of each snack Hannah buys.
