Car A travels x km for every litre of petrol.

Car A travels x km for every litre of petrol, while car B travels (x + 5) km for every litre of petrol.
(i) Write down the number of litres of petrol used by car A and car B in covering a distance of 400 km.
(ii) If car A uses 4 litres of petrol more than car B in covering 400 km. write down an equation, in A and solve it to determine the number of litres of petrol used by car B for the journey.
