s=3+g
s equals 3 plus g

g=3s
g equals 3 s

s equals Start Fraction g over 3 End Fraction

s=3g

Answer 1

The correct equation that shows the relationship between the number of gallons of gas, \( g \), and the total amount of money she spends, \( s \), is:

\[ s = 3g \]

This means that the total amount spent \( s \) is equal to the price per gallon ($3) multiplied by the number of gallons \( g \).
