Maria spent half of her weekly allowance buying pizza. To earn more money her parents let her mow the lawn for $9. What is her weekly allowance if she ended with $13?

so by the passage, let Y be the weekly allowance.
so,
Y/2 (that is for the pizza) + 9 = 13
Y/2 = 4
Y= 8
so she has $8 for her weekly allowance
