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?

Respuesta :

Answer:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose, Harriet's gross pay each day [tex]= x[/tex]

So, her total gross pay for 7 work days [tex]=7*x= 7x[/tex]

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

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

[tex]7x= 35h+56 \\ \\ x=\frac{35h+56}{7}\\ \\ x=\frac{35h}{7}+\frac{56}{7}\\ \\ x=5h+8[/tex]

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