  2. Answer:
    Malia’s allowance changed from $10.00 to $(10 – 2x) after buying ice cream cones.
    Step-by-step explanation:
    We are given the following information:
    Malia’s allowance to spend at carnival = $10.00
    Ice cream ordered by her = 2
    Let x dollars be the cost of one ice cream cone.
    Total money spent on ice creams =
