Let $\"c\"$ = toll for 1 car
\n" ); document.write( "Let $\"t\"$ = toll for 1 truck
\n" ); document.write( "given:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"t+=+2c\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"6t+%2B+5c+=+12.75\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"6%2A%282c%29+%2B+5c+=+12.75\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"12c+%2B+5c+=+12.75\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"17c+=+12.75\"$
\n" ); document.write( "solve for $\"c\"$ , then $\"t\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
