harriet earns the same amount of money each day. her gross pay at the end of 7 workdays is 35h + 56 dollars…

Answer:

A. $5h + 8$

Explanation:

Step1: Let daily pay be $x$.

Let the amount she earns each day be $x$. Then her pay in 7 days is $7x$. We know her pay in 7 days is $35h + 56$. So $7x=35h + 56$.

Step2: Solve for $x$.

Divide both sides of the equation $7x=35h + 56$ by 7. Using the distributive property of division $\frac{a + b}{c}=\frac{a}{c}+\frac{b}{c}$, we have $x=\frac{35h}{7}+\frac{56}{7}$.

Step3: Simplify the expression.

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