x = weekly allowance.
\n" ); document.write( "she spends half to play mini-golf.
\n" ); document.write( "her parents let her wash the car for 4 dollars.
\n" ); document.write( "she ended up with 12 dollars.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x - 1/2 * x + 4 = 12\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "simplify to get 1/2 * x + 4 = 12.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "subtract 4 from both sides of the equation to get 1/2 * x = 8.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "solve for x to get x = 16.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "her weekly allowance was 16.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "she spent half on mini-golf and was left with 8.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "her parents gave her 4 to wash the car.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "she was left with 12 after all that.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
