    There is no possible values for the number of whole hours walking dog

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let x is the number of hours working as a babysitting (x ≥ 0)

    Let y is the number of hours working as a walking dogs person (y ≥0)

    We have a system of inequalities:

    12x + 6y ≥ 90 x + y ≤ 9

    If Joseph worked 2 hours babysitting:

    2 + y ≤ 9 y ≤ 7 (y > 0) and

    12x + 6y ≥ 90 y ≥ 11

    so there is no possible values for the number of whole hours walking dogs:

    Hope it will find you well.
