Check below, please.

1) Considering the given problem, we can write out the following answering those questions.

2) Let's define the variable as x

Matt:

the cost for Matt's job is modeled by 2x+15

Since those $15 dollars are fixed and he charges $2 per dog.

Angela:

Her earnings are modeled by 3x+5

Since those $5 dollars are fixed and he charges $3 per dog.

Equation

We can write the following expression to get to know the number of animals that makes no difference picking Angela or Matt:

2x+15 =3x+5

Work


\begin{gathered} 2x+15=3x+5 \\ 2x-3x=5-15 \\ -x=-10 \\ x=10 \end{gathered}

So, for 10 dogs there is no difference whether Angela or Matt is taking care for the cost will be the same.
