Record what each expression represents according to the facts.
Car #1 travels M miles on one gallon of gas, and uses x gallons of gas each day.
Car #2 travels L miles on one gallon of gas, and uses y gallons of gas each day.
1) Mx =

2) x + y =

3) M – L =

Answer 1

Mx = the miles that Car 1 travels on x gallons of gas.
x + y = the total gallons of gas that Car 1 and Car 2 use each day.
M- L = how many more miles Car 1 can drive on 1 gallon of gas than Car 2.
