\n" ); document.write( "\"150\"dollars for lodging
\n" ); document.write( "\".55\" dollars /mile
\n" ); document.write( "\"225.35\" dollars reimbursement
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\".55x\"= reimbursement for miles driven
\n" ); document.write( "\".55x+%2B+150+=+225.35\"
\n" ); document.write( "\".55x+=+75.35\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+137\"
