The inequality is
The maximum number of days that Diego’s father can drive the car without the warning light coming on is 20 days
Step-by-step explanation:
14 gallons-1.5 gallons=12.5 gallons
we know that
If the remaining fuel is greater than 1.5 gallons Diego’s father can drive the car without the warning light coming on
so
Let
x —-> the number of days
—-> inequality that represent the situation
Solve for x
The maximum number of days that Diego’s father can drive the car without the warning light coming on is 20 days
