The equations can be set up as follows: b + d = 8 and 6x + 5y = 43. Here, b denotes the hours Julia babysits, and d indicates the hours spent walking dogs. Given that Julia worked a total of 8 hours, this leads to the equation b + d = 8. Considering her earnings of $6 per hour babysitting and $5 walking dogs, accumulating to a total of $43 after 8 hours results in the equation 6x + 5y = 43.

5 + 3 equals 8, and adding 8 + 35 gives 43, which is the total I calculated.
