Brianna is driving on a long road trip. She currently has 9 gallons of gas in her car.

Each hour that she drives, her car uses up 2 gallons of gas. How much gas would be in
the tank after driving for 2 hours? How much gas would be left after t hours?

3 answers

after t hours, she has 9-2t gals left
9 gal - (2 gal/hr ) 2 hr = 9 gal - 4 gal = 5 gal

9 - 2 t
1hr=2 gal
2hr=4gal
9gal-4gal=5gal
your answer is 5gal
