The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

Maya spent her allowance on playing an arcade game a few times and riding the Ferris wheel more than once. Write about what additional information you would need to create a two-variable equation for the scenario. What kind of problem could you solve with your equation?

Answer and Step-by-step explanation: Suppose the times Maya played an arcade game are G and the price for each time is x. Also, the times she rode the Ferris wheel is F and the price for each time is y. Maya's allowance is z.

So, equation for how much she spent in each activity is

Gx + Fy = z

To make this equation determinable, we could:

1) Know how many times Maya did each activity, i.e., the values of G and F, and her allowance. In this way, we can find how much each activity cost and compare it.

2) Know how much each activity cost, i.e., the values of x and y, and her allowance. So, in this way, we can find how many times Maya played a game and rode the Ferris wheel.

3) Know how much each activity cost and how many times she did them and determine her allowance.

In conclusion, since it is a two variable equation, it is neeeded two sets of values to determine the other two values.
