We assume the petrol tank was full at the beginning of the journey.

The petrol tank holds x litres.

x - 1/3 x - 2/5 x = 8

15x/15 - 5x/15 - 6x/15 = 8

4x/15 = 8

4x = 120

x = 30

The petrol tank holds 30 litres.

inna [77]

Answer:

462.5 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

You find out how many books she reads in 1 day then you can multiply it by 5 to get 5 days.

If she reads 185 in 2 days. Divide 185 by 2 to get 1 day.

185/2 = 92.5 pages

Now multiply 92.5 by 5 to get how many pages she read after 5 days.

92.5 x 5 =    462.5 pages

The product of two consecutive numbers is 182
kupik [55]
2 consecutive numbers....x and x + 1

x(x + 1) = 182
x^2 + x = 182
x^2 + x - 182 = 0
(x - 13)(x + 14) = 0

x - 13 = 0
x = 13

x + 14 = 0
x = -14....not this one because it is negative

x + 1 = 13 + 1 = 14

ur 2 numbers are : 13 and 14
