Question 503237: Leon's camper has a 20-gallon fuel tank and gets 12 miles per gallon of fuel. Let g be the amount of gasoline left in the tank after driving m miles. Write an equation that expresses the amount of gas, g, in Leon's fuel tank in terms of the number of miles, m, he has driven. Need help with checking equation. g=20+12m?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Leon's camper has a 20-gallon fuel tank and gets 12 miles per gallon of fuel. Let g be the amount of gasoline left in the tank after driving m miles. Write an equation that expresses the amount of gas, g, in Leon's fuel tank in terms of the number of miles, m, he has driven.
---------------
Gallons of gas used in m miles = m/12
----
Gallons remaining after driving m miles:::: g(m) = 20-(m/12)
