Given the coordinates of the length of PH as P(2,55) and H(32, 15), to get the actual length of the land bridge from P to H, we will use the formula for calculating the distance between two points.

D = √(x₂-x₁)²+(y₂-y₁)²

PH = √(32-2)²+(15-55)²

PH = √(30)²+(-40)²

PH = √900+1600

PH = √2,500

PH = 50

Hence the actual length of the land bridge from P to H to the nearest yard is 50 yards.

If Mary spent half of her allowance the equation will begin with 1/2x or 0.5x where x is her allowance and 0.5 is half of her allowance spent. Mary also earned 7 dollars by washing the car so this will be added to her allowance spent.
The problem says that after Mary has spent half of her allowance at the movies she was left with 18 dollars so that means that the equation must be equal to 18.

The equation you want to set up is

0.5x+7=18
Where, 18-7=11
0.5x=11
11/.5 = x
x = $22

Thus, Mary has a weekly allowance of 22 dollars.
