Explanation:

Gas is priced at $2.70 per gallon. My gas tank has 2 gallons currently in the tank. Write an equation to how much

the money I will spend to fill up my tank.

Let the total gallons that would fill your tank = x

The tank currently has 2 gallons

A gallon =>$2.70

Therefore, our equation is

=(x - 2) × 2.70

= 2.7x - 5.4
