Question

Mrs. Rodger got a weekly raise of $145. If she gets paid every other week, write an integer describing how the raise will affect her paycheck.

Answer 1

Let the 1st paycheck be x (integer).

Mrs. Rodger got a weekly raise of $ 145.

So after completing the 1st week she will get $ (x+145).

Similarly after completing the 2nd week she will get $ (x + 145) + $ 145.

= $ (x + 145 + 145)

= $ (x + 290)

So in this way end of every week her salary will increase by $ 145

Answer 2

So, Paycheck after one week
=x+145Paycheck after 2 weeks
=x + 145 + 145

So, the raise will affect her paycheck by addition of $145 every week.
