A car used 15 gallons of gasoline and traveled a total distance of 350 miles. The car's fuel efficiency is 25 miles per gallon on the highway and 20 miles per gallon in the city. Which equation can you solve to find h, the number of gallons that were used on the highway?
a. 350=25(15-h)+20h
b. 25h+20(15-h)=350
c. 350= (25+20/2)h
d. 15= 350/25h + 350/20h

The equation would be letter b. 25h + 20 (15 - h) = 350
Let’s try to solve to get the value of h
=> 25h + 20(15 -h) = 350
=> 25h + (300 – 20h) = 350
=> 25h + 300 – 20h = 350
=> 300 + 5h = 350
=> 5h = 350 – 300
=> 5h / 5 = 50/ 5
=> h = 10
Thus the value of h is 10 which means a car travel on the highways and used 10 gallons of gasoline,
