Let $\"m\"$ = the number of miles driven
\n" ); document.write( "Let $\"d\"$ = the number of days the van is rented for
\n" ); document.write( "Let $\"C\"$ = the cost of renting the van
\n" ); document.write( "given:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+d+=+2+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+C+=+275+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+C+=+65d+%2B+.25m+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+275+=+65%2A2+%2B+.25m+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+275+=+130+%2B+.25m+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract $\"130\"$ from both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+.25m+=+145+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+m=+145+%2F+.25+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+m+=+580+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "580 miles can be driven \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
