First set up your problem:
\n" ); document.write( "\"270%2F6=675%2Fx\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Next cross multiply:
\n" ); document.write( "\"270%2Ax=675%2A6\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Then simplify and solve for x:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"270%2Ax=4050\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=4050%2F270\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=15\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So, she will use roughly 15 gallons of gas if she drives 675 miles.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-Alejandro
