Step-by-step explanation:

The amount spent on golfing is an illustration of algebraic equation

Mario spent $35.20on golfing

What are algebraic equations?

Algebraic equations are mathematical statements, where two expressions have equal values

How to determine the amount spent on golfing

The table entries are given as:

Transaction    Amount

Oil change     $18.95

Gas in car      $20.50

Lunch out      $12.68

Golfing            ---

Total spent    $87.33

Represent the amount spent on golfing with x.

So, we have the following equation

[tex]18.95 + 20.50 + 12.68 + x = 87.33[/tex]

Evaluate the sum

[tex]52.13 + x = 87.33[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]x = 87.33 - 52.13[/tex]

Evaluate the like terms

[tex]x = 35.2[/tex]

Hence, Mario spent $35.20on golfing
