Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:
`5h+8`

Explanation:

1. You know that her gross pay at the end of 7 days is
`35h+56` dollars.

2. Then, to find the expression that represents her gross pay each day, you must divide
`35h+56` by 7.

3. Keeping this on mind, you have:

`(35h+56)/(7)`

4. Factor out 7 in the numerator and simplify the expression, as you can see below:

`(7(5h+8))/(7)=5h+8`

5. Then, the answer is
`5h+8`
