To determine the number of gallons Trisha can purchase to the nearest whole gallon, we should look at the x-coordinate of point X. The x-coordinate is 9.375, which tells us the quantity of gasoline she can buy with $30.
Rounded to the nearest whole number, 9.375 gallons is equivalent to 9 gallons.
Therefore, Trisha can purchase 9 gallons of gasoline with her $30.
