We already have the equation that gives us the number of miles Johanna has left on her trip - it is the function f(x):


f(x)=1084-65t

where t is the number of hours of driving.

After 12 hours of driving, we have t = 12, putting that into f(x) gives


f(12)=1084-65(12)
f(12)=304

Hence, Johanna has left 304 miles after 12 hours of driving.
