Andres Morton · Answer 1

8 + 2 * X = P

2 + 3 * X = C

Step-by-step explanation:

By means of the statement we have to:

Phillp case: "Charges $ 8 the first time he walks a dog and $ 2 per walk after that" that is:

P = 8 + 2 * X

Where X would be the number of walks.

Carrie case: "Charge $ 2 the first time he walks a dog and $ 3 per walk after that" That is:

C = 2 + 3 * X

Where X would be the number of walks.

Therefore the equation system would be:

8 + 2 * X = P

2 + 3 * X = C

P and C earnings of Phillp and Carrie respectively.
