Question

carlos provides dog- walking services in his neighborhood. For each walk, he charges a flat fee of $5 for clean-up and $6 per dog. Write an equation to represent the relation

Answer 1

Let x be the number of dogs.  The equation would be

y = 5+6x.

The flat fee is independent of the number of dogs.  The $6 per dog fee gets multiplied by the number of dogs.
