Answer: You walked 12 dogs

Step-by-step explanation:

If you charge 0.75 per dog then we can represent that by the expression 0.75x where x is the number of dogs. If you charge $5 for the initial amount, then the whole expression will be 0.75x +5  and that has to equal the amount that you earned working on Saturday.So the equation will be

0.75x + 5 = 14   Now solve for x by first subtracting 5 from both sides

          -5     -5

0.75x = 9      Divide both sides by 0.75

 x = 12

Three brothers Charlie Robert and Nicholas have 21 video games Charlie has twice as many games as Robert. Robert has 5 fewer gam
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

The equation would be 4x-15=21.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Total Number of Video games = 21

Let the number of video game Nicholas has be 'x'.

Now Given:

Robert has 5 fewer games than Nicholas.

so we can say that;

number of video game Robert has = x-5

Also Given:

Charlie has twice as many games as Robert.

so we can say that;

number of video game Charlie has = 2(x-5)=2x-10

we need to write the equation.

Solution:

Now we can say that;

Total Number of Video games is equal to sum of number of video game Nicholas has, number of video game Robert has and number of video game Charlie has.

framing the equation we get;

x+x-5+2x-10=21\\\\4x-15=21

Hence The equation would be 4x-15=21.

On Solving we get;

Adding both side by 15 we get;

4x-15+15=21+15\\\\4x=36

Dividing both side by 4 we get;

\frac{3x}{4}=\frac{36}{4}\\\\x=9

Hence Nicholas has = 9 video games

Robert has = x-5= 9-5=4 video games

Charlie has = 2x-10 = 2\times9-10=18-10=8 video games
