Two friends take a 3000-mile cross country trip together, but they drive their own cars. Car A has a 12-gallon gas tank and averages 40 miles per gallon, while car B has a 20-gallon gas tank and averages 30 miles per gallon. Assume both drivers pay an average of $2.55 per gallon of gas. What is the cost of one full tank of gas for car A? For car B?

Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.
Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.
