X is 2 more than y
x=2+y
5 years ago (x-5 and y-5)
sum is 30
x-5+y-5=30
x+y-10=30
x=2+y
sub 2+y for x
2+y+y-10=30
2y-8=30
add 8 to both sides
2y=38
divide both sides by 2
y=19

a) 1/7 liters of petrol is used for each mile
Step-by-step explanation:
Justin fills his car with 40 litres of petrol. After travelling 35 miles it's down to 35 litres.
From the above statement:.
The difference is :
40 litres - 35 liters = 5 liters
Hence:
After travelling 35 miles he used 5 liters
(a) How much petrol does the car use each mile?
This is calculated as:
35 miles = 5 Liters
1 mile = x liters
Cross Multiply
35x = 5 Liters
x = 5/35
x = 1/7 liters
Hence, for each mile, 1/7 liters of petrol is used
