if you buy a car wash at the gas station for $5.00, the cost per gallon is $3.10. if you have $40, write and solve a linear equation to find the number of gallons of gas you can afford.
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "g = (40-5)/3.1 = 35/3.1 = 11.29 gallons if you get a car wash
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "g = 40/3.1 = 12.9 gallons if you do not get a car wash
