Question 6

Ryan spent half of his weekly allowance on candy. To earn more money, his parents let him clean the windows in his house for $9. He
ended with $15. Which equation would represent this situation?

Answer 1

x=6

Explanation:

Let X = Rob's weekly allowance

If he spent 1/2 of it on candy, then he had 1/2 of it left (1/2)X

After he earned $6 for cleaning the oven, he had $9.

So,

(1/2)X + 6 = 9

(1/2)X = 3

X = 6
