Answer:

The distance d (in miles) you travel in a car is given by d=55t where t is the time (in hours)

The distance d (in miles) you travel in a car is given by d=20g where g is the number of gallons of gasoline the car uses.

1. Write an equation that relates g & t.

2. Solving for g.

=>

Hence,

3. You travel for six hours. How many gallons of gasoline does the car use

We will use this equation to solve the question.

Putting t = 6

g = 16.5 gallons

4. How far do you travel?

We can use equation here

miles

this is what you wanted right?
