Answer:
The cost of 5 gallons of fuel would be 5x assuming the cost of 1 gallon to be x.
Step-by-step explanation:
An old truck has a fuel efficiency rating of 12 mpg.
We have to find the cost of gasoline that will be used up after we drive 60 miles.
To drive 60 miles , it uses 5 gallons.
let the cost of 1 gallon of fuel be x.
We have to find the cost of 5 gallons of fuel.
So the cost of 5 gallons of fuel = 5[tex]\times coat of 1 gallon of fuel[/tex]
= 5x
