Problem:
Last week/ Joe’s Electric Service use 110 gallons of gasoline in its two trucks. The large truck
was driven 800 miles. And small truck was driven 600 miles. If the small truck gets twice as
many miles per gallon as the large truck, then how many gallons of gasoline did the large truck
use?
Solution:
800       600
 x
      +   2x
              =110
800 300
   +    =110
 x   x
1100
     =110
  x
1100 x 1100
      =
 110    110
X = 10
Checking
800         600
 x
      +     2x
                =110
800        600
 x
      +   2(10)
                =110
800       600
 x
      +    20
              =110
80 + 30 = 110
110 = 110
