cost to rent the car is 15.00 plus .35 per mile.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if she can only spend 125, then:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "125 = 15 + x * .35 where x is the number of miles she can drive.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "subtract 15 from both sides of this equation to get:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "125-15 = x*.35 which becomes:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "110 = x*.35\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides of this equation by .35 to get:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "110/.35 = x which becomes:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "314.2857143 = x\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "she can drive a maximum of 314.2857143 miles given her budget limitations.\r
