Question 615985
ryan=r alexander=a
r=6.25+a
r+a=66+(11/12)
best way to go about this is to put everything in to fractions and have the denom be 12
r=6 and (1/4)= 6 and (3/12)= (75/12)
{{{r=(75/12)+a}}}
r+a=66 and(11/12)= (803/12)
{{{r+a=803/12}}}
substitute for r
{{{(75/12)+a +a=803/12}}} now id multiply by 12
{{{75+24a=803}}} subtract 75
{{{24a=728}}} divide by 24
{{{highlight(a=30.33333333)}}}
r={{{30.3333+6.25=36.5833}}}
weird problem
