Question

Carl's new car gets 27 miles per gallon. What is the equation that represents y, the total miles driven on x gallons of gas?

x = 27y
y = 27 + x
x = 27 + y
y = 27x

Answer 1

The total miles driven equation is
`y=27x`

Explanation:

Given:

Number of gallons of gas is x.

Total miles driven is y.

Carl's new car gets 27 miles per gallon.

Hence to calculate total miles driven we need to multiply 27 with number of gallons of gas.

Hence the equation becomes.

`y=27x`
