Question

brainzonly · Answer

Set up an algebraic equation:
b+163,950=317,450

So.. what I've tried to do... 

x = the amount of computers B has

x + 163,950 = 317,450

So would 153,500 be the amount of computers for B?

Didn't see you had posted that before me, but so my setup is correct?

brainzonly · Answer

Now...
b+163,950-163,950=317,450-163,950
^^Solve for B, which is what we're looking for
b=153,500
Country B has 153,500 million computers, which would probably be 
153500000000 computers!

Yes, your setup is correct! You have a good day.
