the question is fairly straight forward but the translation is getting me.
I have 5n+10d=240 and
n+3=d WRONG the correct answer is d+3=n but why? I am gettins snagged on this part often. need to understand the logic so please dont solve the question because its not my weakness. Im looking to learn translations better.
mgmat translation book is fine and the og doesnt give me much trouble anymore. However, these translations sometimes give me problems.
