You won't get far in math, or any other logical pursuit, assuming things that are not stated. Have a nice life, simpleton.![]()
1) I have gotten very far in math.
2) Problems are written by PEOPLE. And sometimes those people make little ambiguities (to say nothing about the OP who transcribed the problem to an online forum). It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know what someone meant given the context if there is just some tiny wording that seems out of place or missing. The only way this problem makes sense given what he wrote is if the tank is full. The context of this problem is a simple algebra class. This is not a freaking math journal paper.
I am quite the dumbass.
Yes you are.
