\"Goran's gas tank is 1/6 full. After he buys 14 gallons of gas, it is 3/4 full. How many gallons can Goran's tank hold?\"
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = gallons to fill the tank
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"3%2F4\"x = \"1%2F6\"x + 14
\n" ); document.write( "multiply by 12
\n" ); document.write( "12*\"3%2F4\"x = 12*\"1%2F6\"x + 12(14)
\n" ); document.write( "3(3x) = 2x + 168
\n" ); document.write( "9x - 2x = 168
\n" ); document.write( "7x = 168
\n" ); document.write( "x = 168/7
\n" ); document.write( "x = 24 gallons
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "see if that is true
\n" ); document.write( "\"1%2F6\"*24 + 14 = 18 gallons which is 18/24 = 3/4 of the tank
\n" ); document.write( "
