Explanation:

Step1: Calculate gas used in 2 hours

Gas used = $1 \times 2 = 2$ gallons

Step2: Find gas left after 2 hours

Gas left = $14 - 2 = 12$ gallons

Step3: Define gas left after t hours

Gas used in t hours = $1 \times t = t$ gallons
Gas left = $14 - t$ gallons

Gas left after 2 hours: 12
Gas left after t hours: $14 - t$
