Do you know how to set up an equation for this?

anonymous · Answer

Well, here's the equation, it should help if you don't know how to do it already:
m = 4b + 10
m = time marlene studied
b = time brianna studied

So plug 150 into Marlene's variable:
150 = 4b + 10

And solve for b.

Do you know how to solve for b?
