Maths Isnt Fun:

for the ans:351 the question was abt chairs...someone arranged chairs in rows of 9. he bought 6 chairs and arranged the chairs in rows of 7 and had 12 more rows. how many chairs are in the hall at first? (i think?)

My answer is 357. I used algreba but it took many steps . Assume that number of chairs is x.Try to make two number sentences equal to each other and try to eliminate one equation by minusing it out from the equation that is greater in value.

I used the same method. I arrived at x=39. Then, i 39x9+6=357.
