314/4 is 78.5 and fractions can make it more difficult compared to whole numbers. However, if it is easier for some one, than by all means. The answer will come out to be the same anyway.

Sadly/Happily, I do not. But hey, now I do. Ask me again in a couple hours and I might say yes.

Thank you for answering this..

Because you have XYZ, you need a third formula...one for each variable. Otherwise, it makes it unsolvable...or difficult at the minimum (depending on information given).

Instead of X + 2 = 6 - X; you get X + Y + 2 = 6 - X - Y. You can't get a solid X=2 answer out of that since it will solve as X = Y + 1. How would you know what X and Y were?

Are you entirely sure she knew what they were to begin with?

I think I need to go to bed!
