Set up the equation, and just do basic algebra to solve for the unknowns.

I'd just write down some numbers and say you couldn't figure out how to do it exactly. Go to the teacher for help first thing though.

Good luck man. I've forgotten how to do that stuff since last year. I'll probably remember later in the year when we review it.
