Angela earns x dollars an hour. On Friday, she worked 6 hours. On Saturday, she worked 8 hours. Which expression shows how much she earned both days ?

A. 6x + 8
B. 8x x 6x
C. (6 + 8)x
D.6 + 8 / x



Answer :

Each hour she works, she earns [tex]x[/tex] dollars.

The first day, she worked 6 hours, so she'd earn [tex]6x[/tex] dollars.
The second day, she worked 8, so she'd earn [tex]8x[/tex].
Together, she'd have earned [tex]6x+8x[/tex] dollars.
 You could add the number of hours she worked first and then multiply by [tex]x[/tex] to get the same result. This would look like [tex](6+8)x[/tex].
