To find out how many gallons it would take for the truck to drive 425 miles, we can set up a proportion.

The proportion is:
2 gallons / 34 miles = x gallons / 425 miles.

To solve for x, we can cross multiply:
2 * 425 = 34 * x
850 = 34x

Divide by 34 on both sides to solve for x:
850/34 = x
25 = x

Therefore, it would take the truck 25 gallons to drive 425 miles. Answer: 25.
