Question 237385: I'm working with Formulas and World Problems in Algebra
The problem is
The original temperature of gas was 33 degrees K. Its present pressure is 6.8mm and its present temperature is 27degrees K. What was the original pressure of the gas?
They gave us: P1/T1 = P2/T2
So that would work out to P1 x T1/T1 = P2 x T1/T2
which becomes P1 = P2 x T1/T2
which becomes 6.8mm x 33 degreesK/27 degreesK
It's a basic algebra problem that I've forgotten the process for can you please help?

I've tried giving a general equation for each (boys and girls), but without a total, I am a little stumped. For example, my initial thoughts on putting the two statements into variables, etc results in:
b = 2b + g (first statement)
