Scarlett has 14 gallons of gas in her car at the beginning of a trip. Every hour Scarlett drives, she uses 2.5 gallons of gas. Answer the questions below regarding the relationship between the gallons of gas remaining in the tank and the total hours driven.

Respuesta :

Answer:N(5)=1.5

Step-by-step explanation:The independent variable x represents the Number of hours driven and the dependent variable is the gallons of gas remaining, because the gallons of gas remaining depends on the number of hours driven.

A function relating these variables is Nx=14-2.5

So N(5)=1.5 meaning 5 hours of driving will result in 1.5 gallons left in the tank.
