You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let h be the gallons used on highway. Let c be gallons used on city driving.
\n" ); document.write( "You are told
\n" ); document.write( " $\"h+%2B+c+=+13\"$ --> $\"c+=+13+-+h\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"34h+%2B+26c+=+414\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"34h+%2B+26%2813-h%29+=+414\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"34h+%2B+338+-+26h+=+414\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"8h+=+76\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"h+=+9.5\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"c+=+13+-+9.5+=+3.5\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Use these values to calculate the miles driven for each type
\n" ); document.write( " $\"cityMiles+=+26%2Ac\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"HighwayMiles+=+34%2Ah\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "you can do the rest \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
