Sagot :

Answer:

6 dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let [tex]x[/tex] be his allowance.

ON the first day he spent 3 dollars.    [tex]x-3[/tex]

On the second day, he got 2.    [tex]x-3+2[/tex]

Now, he has five.  [tex]x-3+2=5[/tex]

Finally, you solve and get:  

[tex]x-1=5[/tex]

Add one to both sides and you get   [tex]x=6 dollars[/tex]

Hope this helped!
