Hi! It really helps the tutor when you post your entire question word-for-word, without leaving out any parts. I'd love to help you with this problem, but it appears the end is missing, so I don't know everything I need to know in order to solve it.
I'll be watching for you to update this problem so I can teach you how to do it!

Oh! In that case we were both probably overthinking this! They probably just wanted you to say that your income (i) is going to just be your $5 allowance, plus the money (m) you earn from jobs around the neighborhood. The formula in that case would just be i=5+m. Do you think that's what they have in mind?
