Answer:

9 gallons of gas left

  • Houa would be left with 9 gallons after 5 hours.
  • Houa would be left with (14 - t) gallons after t hours.

For each hour that Houa drives, she takes a gallon. In 5 hours, she will have used:

= Number of hours x gallons consumed per hour

= 5 x 1

= 5 gallons

She will be left with:

= Gallons currently in car - gallons to be consumed

= 14 - 5

= 9 gallons

After t hours, the number of gallons she will have in the car is:

= Current number of gallons - (Gallons consumed per hour x t hours)

= 14 - (1 x t)

= 14 - 1t

= 14 - t
