the charge to rent the car is 37 dollars per day plus .25 per mile.
\n" ); document.write( "the maximum amount of money available to spend is 350 dollars.
\n" ); document.write( "the vacation will take 3 days.
\n" ); document.write( "let x = the number of miles.
\n" ); document.write( "equation becomes 350 >= 37*3 + .25*x
\n" ); document.write( "simplify to get 350 >= 111 + .25*x
\n" ); document.write( "subtract 111 from both sides to get 350 - 111 >= .25*x
\n" ); document.write( "simplify to get 239 >= .25*x
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides by .25 to get 239/.25 >= x
\n" ); document.write( "solve for x to get x <= 956 miles.
\n" ); document.write( "he can travel up to 956 miles in 3 days and still be within his budget limit of 350 dollars.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
