Latisha works x hours each day. Demetrius works 1 more hour each day than Latisha.Which expressions both calculate the number of hours Demetrius works in a 5-day work week?

Respuesta :

The expressions that calculate the number of hours that Demetrius works in a week are [tex]5(x+1)\text{ and }5x+5[/tex]

If Latisha works [tex]x[/tex] hours each day

Demetrius works one more hour than Latisha each day. Algebraically, Demetrius works [tex](x+1)[/tex] hours each day

So for a [tex]5[/tex]-day working week, Demetrius will work

[tex](x+1)+(x+1)+(x+1)+(x+1)+(x+1)\\=5\times (x+1)\\=5(x+1)hours[/tex]

If we remove the brackets, we have the equivalent expression

[tex]5(x+1)=5x+5[/tex]

So the expressions that calculate the number of hours that Demetrius works in a week are [tex]5(x+1)\text{ and }5x+5[/tex]
