Answer 1

Your Answer Should be Ashley weekly allowance is $12.

Explanation:

(x/2=9=15 , Solve the equation )

Answer 2

Weekly allowance = $12.

Explanation:

Let x be the weakly allowance.

She spent half of it on mini-golf,

Half of weakly allowance =
`(x)/(2)`

and earned $9 from her parents,

`(x)/(2) + 9`

and ended the week with $15, so

`(x)/(2) + 9 = 15`

Solve above equation for x

`(x)/(2) + 9 = 15`

`(x)/(2) = 15 - 9`

`(x)/(2) = 6`

`x=12`

Therefore, Her weekly allowance is $12.
