Petrolyn motor oil is a combination of natural oil and synthetic oil. it contains 5 liters of natural oil for every 8 liters of synthetic oil. if 440 liters of natural oil are used, how many liters of petrol oil will be made?

1144 liters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Petrolyn motor oil contains 5 liters of natural oil for every 8 liters of synthetic oil.

Thus, the ratio of the natural oil and synthetic oil in motor oil =

Let x be synthetic oil that is mixed with the 440 liters of motor oil,

Thus, we can write,

       ( By cross multiplication )

Hence, the quantity of synthetic oil = 704 liters,

⇒ The quantity of petrol oil = Synthetic oil + Motor oil = 704 + 440 = 1144 liters.

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

1st step: isolate x.

24 - 3x = -27

-24         -24

-3x   =   -51

2nd step: divide.

-3x     =   -51

  3             3

  x       =     17
