A small airplane uses gasoline at a constant rate while flying. The amount of gasoline remaining in the airplane's gas tank ( in gallons ) is given by the equation g = -10x + 95, where x is the number of hours the plane has been flying. What would this equation be if the initial amount in the gas tank were increased by 12 gallons?

Answer:

  g = -10x +107

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to know the equation if the initial value in g = -10x +95 were increased by 12.

Initial value

The "initial amount" in the equation is the amount that corresponds to g when x = 0. That is the constant in the equation, 95.

When the initial amount is increased by 12, it becomes ...

  95 +12 = 107

Hence the revised equation would be ...

  g = -10x +107
