The person I was helping with had the same problem. The math problem is impossible. They don't give you enough details to help you solve this which is why teachers are supposed to tell you to cross it off on your homework. If they did not and they have an answer for you in class, their information is incorrect. I know this answer may not be an answer you're looking for but congrats, you don't need to do this problem unless you want to stress over it for hours and hours. Thank you to the people who read this I guess, I need more points lmao. If you need any math help, Im here :)
