    34.8 liters

    Answer: he bought 34.8 liters of gas.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let x represent the number of liters of gas that Alberto bought.

    At the beginning of the week, Alberto's car has 35.8 liters of gasoline in its tank. He uses 28.6 liters of gasoline during the week. This means that the number of liters of gas left would be

    35.8 - 28.6 = 7.2

    Then he completely fills the tank with gas. If the gas tank of Alberto's car holds a total of 42 liters of gas., it means that

    x + 7.2 = 42

    x = 42 - 7.2

    x = 34.8 liters
