1. The weekly allowance if Eugene ended with $18 is $20.

   How to illustrate the equation?

   An equation is the statement that illustrates the variables given. In this case, two or more components are taken into consideration to describe the scenario. It is vital to note that an equation is a mathematical statement which is made up of two expressions that are connected by an equal sign.

   In this situation, Eugene spent half of his weekly allowance buying pizza and to earn more money his parents let him clean the gutters for $8.

   His weekly allowance if he ended with $18 will be illustrated as x. This will be:

   1/2(x) + 8 = 18

   0.5x + 8 = 18

   Collect the like terms

   0.5x = 18 – 8

   0.5x = 10

   Divide

   x = 10 / 0.5

   x = 20

   The weekly amount is $20.
