Nayeli is driving on a long road trip. She currently has 14 gallons of gas in her car. Each hour that she drives, her car uses up 1.5 gallons of gas. How much gas would be in the tank after driving for 4 hours? How much gas would be left after t hours?

Respuesta :

Answer:

8 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Total gas in the car = 14 gallons

Each hour gas usage = 1.5 gallons

Total hours traveled = 4 hours

Left gas after 4 hours

= 14-1.5(4)

=14-6

=8 gallons

Left gas after t hours

=14-1.5t

Hence the answer is after 4 hours, 8 gallons are left after t hour(s) 14-1.5t
