Question

25 gallons of gas were pumped into two different size tanks. Express the amount of gas pumped into the smaller tank in terms of the amount g pumped into the larger tank

Answer 1

Answer:

The expression of amount of gas is $s=25-g.$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

25 gallons of gas were pumped into two different size tanks.

Now, to express the amount of gas pumped into the smaller tank in terms of the amount $g$ pumped into the larger tank.

Let the amount of gas pumped into smaller tank be $s.$

And according to question, the amount of gas pumped into larger tank is $g$ .

Total amount of gas pumped into both size tanks = 25 gallons.

So, to express the amount of gas pumped into the smaller tank in terms of the amount $g$ pumped into the larger tank:

$s+g=25$

Subtracting both sides by $g$ we get:

$s=25-g.$

Therefore, the expression of amount of gas is $s=25-g.$
