We are told she earns the <strong>same amount each day<\/strong>, and the total amount she earns is given as <strong>35h + 56 dollars<\/strong>. This expression likely includes a variable (h) that could represent something like hourly wage or hours worked per day, but we don\u2019t need to know exactly what h means to solve the problem\u2014we just need to divide the total evenly over 7 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When dividing an algebraic expression like <strong>35h + 56<\/strong> by a constant (in this case, 7), we can divide each part (or term) of the expression separately. This follows the <strong>distributive property of division over addition<\/strong>, which states:<br>[<br>\\frac{a + b}{c} = \\frac{a}{c} + \\frac{b}{c}<br>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So:<br>[<br>\\frac{35h + 56}{7} = \\frac{35h}{7} + \\frac{56}{7}<br>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We simplify:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>( \\frac{35h}{7} = 5h )<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>( \\frac{56}{7} = 8 )<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Putting it all together, the expression for Harriet\u2019s daily gross pay is <strong>5h + 8<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This new expression means that <strong>every day<\/strong>, Harriet earns an amount made up of <strong>5 times h plus 8 dollars<\/strong>.
