Answer:

15d + 50 = 125

15d = 75

5 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Her total must equal $125.

She has $50 so far.

50 + _____ = 125

In the blank, we will put what she will earn by walking the dogs.

Each day she will earn $15. In d number of days, she will earn 15d.

The equation is:

50 + 15d = 125

15d + 50 = 125

We can subtract 50 from both sides to get

15d = 75

Now we solve the equation to find the number of days.

We divide both sides by 15.

15d/15 = 75/15

d = 5

She will need to walk the dogs for 5 days.
