Step-by-step explanation:

Expression of Sayed weekly earnings = 8.50t + (1.5)(8.50)p = 8.50t + 12.75p

where t is the number of hours worked regularly and p is number of hours worked overtime.

Part 1)

Given t = 36 and p = 4,

Gross Weekly earnings = 8.50(36) + 12.75(4)

= 306 + 51

=$357

Part 2)

Given Gross weekly earnings = $420.75 and t=36,

8.50(36) + 12.75p =420.75

306 + 12.75p = 420.75

12.75p = 420.75-306

12.75p = 114.75

p = 114.75÷12.75

p=9

Which expression uses the greatest common factor and the distributive property to rewrite the sum 7 + 75

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

$75 + 45$ $= 15(3 + 5)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$75 + 45$ -- Corrected

Required

Use the GCF to write it as a distributive property

First, we find the GCF of 75 and 45

$45 = 3 * 3 * 5$

$75 = 3 * 5 * 5$

The common factor is:

$GCF = 3 * 5$

$GCF = 15$

So, $75 + 45$ becomes

$75 + 45$ $= 15 * 3 + 15 * 5$

Factorize

$75 + 45$ $= 15(3 + 5)$

Hence, the sum has been rewritten as $15(3 + 5)$
