anonymous · Answer

& what are you gonna report me for exactly "mr. i'm a moderator person" IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED, i haven't done anything wrong.

hero · Answer

Neither have I, but you blocked me anyway

hero · Answer

s + a = 200
2s + 3a = 490

a = 200 - s
a = (490 - 2s)/3

a = a

3(200 - s) = 490 - 2s
600 - 3s = 490 - 2s
600 - 490 = 3s - 2s
110 = s
