Answer: both services will cost the same if it is for 3 hours service.

Step-by-step explanation: Hope this helps.

Define x: Let x be the number of hours

Derrick Dogs sitting:

Fixed charged=$12

Hourly change=$5

Total charge=12+5x

Darlene dog sitting:

Fixed charged=$18

Hourly change=$3

Total charge= 18+3x

Find the total number of hours so that both cost are the same:

12 + 5x = 18 + 3x

5x - 3x = 18 - 12

2x = 6

x = 3
