Raven earns extra money when her neighbors are on vacation. Raven is paid $12 per day when she cares for the Martin family's cat. She paid $5.50 per day when she waters the Clark Family's pants. Write and simplify an expression to represent how much Raven earns if she performs both jobs for n days. Explain what the simplified expression means.

12n + 5.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 12 represents how much money she gets paid from the Martin's family: the 'n' is the variable which stands for each day because we don't kknow how many days she watches the cat but when we multiply the 12 by the 'n', we get the days. We add an additional 5.50 because she has a side job as well with the Clark's family. which is how you get 12n+5.50
