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.

Respuesta :

Let x = the amount of gas pumped to the smaller tank 

      y = the amount of gas pumped to the larger tank 

Since the total gas pumped to the two tanks is 25 gallons of gas, we can say that: 

x + y = 25 

We just have to solve x in terms of y to express the amount of gas pumped into the smaller tank in terms of the amount pumped into the larger tank. 

We can get:

x = 25 - y

Answer:

25-g
