Answer: 3 gallons

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Connor is driving on a long road trip and currently has 9 gallons of gas in his car. We are also told that for every hour that he drives, his car uses up 2 gallons of gas.

After driving for 3 hours, his car would have used:

= 3 × 2 gallons

= 6 gallons of gas

Amount of gas left will be:

= 9 gallons - 6 gallons

= 3 gallons
