You consider borrowing your friends larger car, which gets 18 miles/gallon and holds 20 gallons. Write a formula for how many gallons of gas GF are left in the tank after you have gone M miles. Generate a data table and graph the gas remaining (vertical axis) versus miles (horizontal axis) for both cars. c. Which car has the longer mileage range? d. Is there a distance at which they both have the same amount of gas left? If so, what is it?
