Answer:

(see below)

Explanation:

First, assess your info:

- total of $88

- $45 for dog walking

- $b for babysitting

Now, use that info to write an equation to combine all of this info:

$45 + $b = $88

If you were to find b, however, you'll need to simplify:

$45 + $b = $88

$b = $88 - $45

b = $43
