You and three friends pay $4.95 each on snacks for a road trip. You also split the coast of a tank of gas filling up at a station charging you $2.73 per gallon. Set up a Lin equation with the total price of the snacks, plus price per gallon if your total bill was $55.29. How manny gallons did you and your friends purchase

4.95 x 4 = 19.80
55.29 - 19.80 = 35.49
35.49 / 2.73 = 13
You and your friends purchased 13 gallons of gas
