A batch of goods is transported by several vehicles with a load of 8 tons. If each vehicle is loaded with 5 tons, there will be 10 tons left. If each vehicle is loaded with 8 tons, the last one will not be empty. How many vehicles are there in total I think it's either four or five I'm not sure Let me know the general steps

If there are x cars, the goods will be (5x + 10) tons
When each car is loaded with 8 tons, there are (x-1) cars loaded with 8 tons, and another car loaded with (5x + 10) - 8 (x-1) = 18-3x (tons)
