Answer:
b. $2.50
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us take a step by step approach by simplifying each sentence:
Sentence 1: Hector works 12 hours per week at a part-time hours per week at a part-time job
Number of hours worked per week = 12hours
Sentence 2: His original pay rate was $8.00 per hour. but he recently received a raise of x dollars per hour
Pay per hour is 8hr, a raise of x gives 8 + x
Sentence 3: New total wage = 12(8+x)
Sentence 4: Amount earned last week = $126
New total wage = Amount earned last week
12(8 + x ) = 126
96 + 12x = 126
12x = 126 - 96
12x = 30
x = $2.50
Amount of raise is $2.50
Answer: 20x + 20
Step-by-step explanation: In this problem, the 5 "distributes" through the parentheses, multiplying by each of the terms inside.
So we have 5(4x) + 5(4) which simplifies to 20x + 20.
