Let $\"x\"$ = number of times in a month bus is used
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+1.25x+=+15+%2B+.75x+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+1.25x+-+.75x+=+15+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+.5x+=+15+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+30+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "If the bus us used 30 times in a month,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+1.25%2A30+\"$ = $37.50
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+15+%2B+.75%2A30+-+15+%2B+22.5+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+15+%2B+22.5+\"$ = $37.50
\n" ); document.write( "OK \n" ); document.write( "
