Answer: 5 + 1/4G

Explanation:

From the question, Phil starts with G gallons of gas in his tank and Phil used 3/4 of gas. This means:

G - 3/4 = 1/4G

He is left with 1/4G and and then fills the tank with 5 gallons. The expression that represents the amount of gas now in his tank will be:

= 1/4G + 5 or 5 + 1/4G
