The cost of $266 is for 2 days at $55 per day and x miles at $0.40 per mile:
\n" ); document.write( "\"266+=+55%282%29+%2B+0.40%28x%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"266+=+110+%2B+0.4x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"0.4x+=+156\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+156%2F0.4+=+390\"

\n" ); document.write( "He drove 390 miles.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
