Let $\"x\"$ = the cost of the truck without the taxes
\n" ); document.write( " $\".06x\"$ = the sales tax on the truck
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+%2B+.06x+=+18020\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1.06x+=+18020\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+18020%2F1.06\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+17000\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The cost of the truck is $17,000 \n" ); document.write( "
