Question

Harriet earns the same amount of money each day. Her gross pay at the end of 7 work days is 35h + 56 dollars. Which expression represents her gross pay each day?

Answer 1

Answer:

The expression that represents her gross pay each day will be:  $(5h+8)$ dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose, Harriet's gross pay each day $= x$

So, her total gross pay for 7 work days $=7*x= 7x$

Given that, her gross pay at the end of 7 work days is $(35h + 56)$ dollars.

So, the equation will be.......

$7x= 35h+56 \\ \\ x=\frac{35h+56}{7}\\ \\ x=\frac{35h}{7}+\frac{56}{7}\\ \\ x=5h+8$

Thus, the expression that represents her gross pay each day will be:  $(5h+8)$ dollars.
