You can put this solution on YOUR website! X+6X=68,000,000
7X=68,000,000
X=68,000,000/7
X=$9,714,285.70 SUBSCRIPTION REVENUE.
6*9,714,285.70~58,285,715.30. ADVERTISING REVENUE.
PROOF:
9,714,285.70+58,285,715.30=68,000,000
68,000,000=68,000,000

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Define some variables.
Let a represent the revenue due to advertising.
Let s represent the revenue due to subscription.
You are told that together, they amount to 68 million.
So, a + s = 68
Then, you are told that advertising was 6 times bigger than subscription.
a = 6s
You get two equations with two unknowns. Solve for a, the earning from magazine.
