where did you get this problem? I think I know where you did.
Sorry but these answers are wrong! Scales aren't that simple!
I know where you got these problems as well :) But I would just like to say that that answer doesn't work and that there is more complexity behinds this problem. If it worked for you then there must be a glitch, but it does NOT work for me. Is there any other way someone could solve this? I'm really stumped! Are there any other ways that people know how to solve this? Thanks for all your help! It's really nice that everyone's helping here <3
