Question

2) If you worked x hours at $8.40 per hour, write an algebraic expression to express your gross pay. (Use the variablex, but don't use dollar signs, multiply symbols, spaces, or any parentheses you don't need.)

Answer 1

Since you will work for x hours

Since the cost per hour is $8.40

Then we will multiply x by 8.40 to find your gross pay

$\begin{gathered} x\times8.40= \\ \\ 8.4x \end{gathered}$

The expression is 8.4x
