Question

Pilar has a side job as a dog walker. She charges a flat rate of $20 per walk, plus $5 for every dog
she takes. Let x be the number of dogs walked and y be the total cost. Write the equation.

Answer 1

y=5x+20

If you need to you can graph this in Desmos.

y is cost, 5 is price per dog, x is the number of dogs 5 and x times each other. y is total cost.

I hope this helps.
