Part A: Virginia earned $14 walking her neighbors' dogs on Saturday. She earned some extra money on Sunday doing the same thing. Write an expression with a variable that shows the total amount of money Virginia earned Saturday and Sunday.

Part B: Virginia was able to walk 2 less than twice as many dogs as her friend Alicia. Write an algebraic expression to represent the number of dogs Virginia walked compared with Alicia.

Answer 1

Given,

Equation 1: Virginia earned $14 walking her neighbors' dogs on Saturday. She earned some extra money on Sunday doing the same thing

Equation 2: Virginia was able to walk 2 less than twice as many dogs as her friend Alicia.

To Find,

The algebraic expression of both the equation =?

Solution,

Part A:

Money earned by Virginia on Saturday = $14

Let the money earned by Virginia on Sunday be x

The total amount of money Virginia earned Saturday and Sunday = 14 + x

Part B:

Let the number of dogs Alicia walked be y

Virginia was able to walk 2 less than twice as many dogs as her friend Alicia

Therefore, the number of dogs Alicia walked = 2(y - 2)

The number of dogs Alicia walked = 2y - 2

Hence, the algebraic expression with a variable that shows the total amount of money Virginia earned Saturday and Sunday is (14 + x) and the algebraic expression to represent the number of dogs Virginia walked compared with Alicia is (2y - 2).
