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
