Question

Neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed help

Answer 1

Okay, so the first thing you want to do is convert the question into equations, right?

 

You know A = 59.9

You also know A = 12.5 + 6B

(Because the problem tells you 59.9 is 12.5 more than 6*B)

 

So you can say, then, that 59.9 = 12.5 + 6B. Now you just have to solve for B!
