The expressions that can be used to calculate both numbers of hours Demetrius works in 5-day work week is 5(x + 1)  and 5x + 5

We are being told that Latisha works x hours each day and Demetrius works 1 more hour each day than Latisha.

So,

  • Let the amount of works done by Latisha be = x
  • Then, the amount of works done by Demetrius will be = x + 1

Thus, the both expression that can determine the number of hours Demetrius works in five days is:

= 5(x + 1)  and 5x + 5

This is because if we open the bracket from 5(x+1) and multiply each term in the bracket with 5, we end up having 5x + 5.

  • 5 times open paren x plus 1 close paren and 5 x plus 5 is correct.
