John is correct. The substitution property is being used. The x is being substituted for the value 9 (aka x is replaced with 9). Keep in mind that x is simply a placeholder for a number, in this case 9. 

Think of "substitution" as in a sports game where one player replaces another. Or you can think of a substitute teacher where someone else temporarily replaces your teacher for the day. Those are two ways to help remember the term.

The distributive property is not being used here since it is a*(b+c) = a*b+a*c. For example, 2*(3+5) = 2*3+2*5

Answer:

  D.  A travels 90 miles more

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph tells you Car A travels 140 miles on 5 gallons of gas. (There is a point marked there on the graph.)

The table tells you Car B travels 99 miles on 4.5 gallons of gas. When that is multiplied by 5/4.5 = 10/9 to get the equivalent for 5 gallons, we see that Car B could travel 10/9 × 99 = 110 miles on 5 gallons of gas.

__

Already <em>on 5 gallons of gas</em>, Car A has traveled <em>30 miles farther</em>. The only sensible answer choice is ...

  D.  Car A travelled 90 miles more than Car B [when 15 gallons are used].
