Question 230253: Just wondering if I did this problem right? Thank you for checking.
The city mileage is 17 mpg and the highway is 26 mpg (“kbb“, 2009). Taking this in mind, we are going to find out how many miles we can go with 50 gallons of gas, where x equals the number of miles driven.
17=x/50
17*50=x
x=850 city miles on a tank of gas equaling 50 gallons.
Check: 850÷50=17
26=x/50
26*50=x
x=1300 highway miles on a tank of gas equaling 50 gallons.
Check: 1300÷50=26

So far, so good. I would take it a step further by saying the least value 
can assume is 850 miles (if you did zero highway driving), and the greatest value can assume is 1300 miles (if you did zero city driving), therefore:
