Since she earns the same amount each day, we can <strong>divide the total by 7<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Divide the Expression by 7<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We divide the entire expression $35h + 56$ by 7:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">$$<br>\\frac{35h + 56}{7}<br>$$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To simplify:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Divide each term in the numerator by 7: $$<br>\\frac{35h}{7} + \\frac{56}{7} = 5h + 8<br>$$<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2705 Final Answer:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">$$<br>\\boxed{5h + 8}<br>$$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83d\udcd8 Explanation (300+ Words):<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is an algebraic problem involving division of a polynomial by a constant. We&#8217;re told that Harriet earns a <strong>fixed amount<\/strong> of money each day, and her <strong>total pay<\/strong> for 7 days is represented by the expression <strong>$35h + 56$<\/strong>. The goal is to find her <strong>daily earnings<\/strong>, which involves finding an expression that, when multiplied by 7, gives $35h + 56$.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To do this, we apply the <strong>distributive property<\/strong> of division over addition. This property allows us to divide each term in a sum separately. So instead of trying to simplify the entire expression at once, we break it down:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">$$<br>\\frac{35h + 56}{7} = \\frac{35h}{7} + \\frac{56}{7}<br>$$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>First, divide $35h$ by 7: $$<br>\\frac{35h}{7} = 5h<br>$$<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Next, divide 56 by 7: $$<br>\\frac{56}{7} = 8<br>$$<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, combine the two results:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">$$<br>5h + 8<br>$$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This simplified expression tells us that <strong>each day<\/strong>, Harriet earns an amount equal to <strong>5 times some hourly rate $h$<\/strong>, plus 8 extra dollars. This could represent, for example, a base fee or bonus included daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using algebra in this way helps break down complex earnings over multiple days into a simple, manageable form. This is useful for budgeting, payroll, and understanding financial patterns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Harriet earns the same amount of money each day.
