Answer: Each week, Jayden gets paid 10 dollars plus 2 dollars for each chore he does. We can translate this into an algebraic expression as follows:

Pay = 10 + 2 * Chores

Here, Pay represents Jayden's total pay in dollars, and Chores represents the number of chores Jayden completes in a given week. The expression states that Jayden's pay is equal to 10 dollars plus 2 dollars for each chore he completes.

Alternatively, we could write the expression as:

Pay = 10 + 2Chores

In this case, the coefficient of 2 is understood to apply to the Chores term, so there is no need to explicitly include a multiplication sign. Either way, the expression accurately captures the information in the statement.
