What is Equation?

An equation is a mathematical statement with an 'equal to =' symbol between two expressions that have equal values.

Here, As given in question

The number of gallons of gas Connie’s car, g, uses is directly proportional with the number of miles she drives, m.

                                    g α m

                                     g = km     ............(i)

g = 14.5 gallons of gas          m = 469.8 miles

                                  14.5 = k X 469.8

                                  14.5 = 469.8k

Thus, the equation which represent the problem is 14.5 = 469.8k.
