Question

Ahmed’s car can travel 38 miles on 1 gallon of gas. He fills up his car when he gets down to 24 miles of travel left in the tank. How far will he be able to travel after filling his tank? Create a formula to solve this problem.(1 point)Responsesy=−38x−24y equals negative 38 x minus 24y=38x+24y equals 38 x plus 24y=38xy equals 38 xy=−38x+24

Answer 1

y = 38x + 24

Reason: He already has 24 miles of range left, and each gallon adds 38 miles. If x is the number of gallons added, the total miles possible after filling = 24 + 38x.
