Answer:
a. [tex]y=38x[/tex].
Step-by-step explanation:
Let y represent distance in miles and x represent gallons of gas.
a. First of all, we will find mileage of Ann's car by dividing total distance traveled by total fuel consumed.
Mileage of Ann's Car: [tex]=\frac{228 miles}{6 gallons}[/tex]
Mileage of Ann's Car:[tex]=\frac{38 miles}{gallon}[/tex]
Since Ann's can travels 38 miles per gallon, so distance covered by using x gallons on gas would be [tex]38x[/tex] .
Therefore, our required equation would be [tex]y=38x[/tex].
