a. 2x+4=12: x=16


b.1/2 x+4=12; x=4


c.1/2x+4=12; x=16


d.2x+4=12: x=32

Answer 1

c. ½x + 4 = 12; x = 16

Explanation:

1/2 x ( Half of the allowance spent at movies & x is allowance )

1/2x + 4 ( Earned additional $4 )

1/2x + 4 = 12 ( Had $12 at the end of the week )

Check:

1/2 16 +4 = 12

8 + 4 = 12

12 = 12

Correct!
