Solve the following math problems regarding petrol tanks. Tank A holds 600 litres more than Tank B. If 100 litres are pumped out of each tank, Tank A would contain 3 times as much petrol as Tank B.

here are the solutions to the math problems:

Question 1:

a)

Step 1: Let the capacity of Tank A be $A$ litres and Tank B be $B$ litres.
From the first statement, Tank A holds 600 litres more than Tank B:

$$A = B + 600 \quad (1)$$

Step 2: After pumping out 100 litres from each tank, Tank A contains $A - 100$ litres and Tank B contains $B - 100$ litres.
From the second statement, Tank A would then contain 3 times as much petrol as Tank B:
