Answer 2

Answer:

$\text{ Amount of gasoline left in car} = 12 - x$                  

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Amount of gasoline in car's tank = 12 Gallons

Let $x$ be the amount of gasoline consumed by car during the trip.

Then, we can express the amount of gasoline left in car's tank with the help of an algebraic equation.

$\text{ Amount of gasoline left in car}\\=\text{Total amount of Gasoline }-\text{ Amount of gasoline consumed by car during trip}$

Thus,

$\text{ Amount of gasoline left in car} = 12 - x$

Example:

if x = 4 that is amount of gasoline used during trip is 4 then amount of gasoline left in car tank is $12 - 4 = 8 \text{Gallons}$
