Here's an easy one. I just can't think straight tonight. If I have $S=((sec*75)+f)*588$ What are the two equations I need to solve for $sec$ and to solve for $f$ ? Also, $1sec = 75f$?
Solving $S=((sec*75)+f).*588, 1sec = 75f$

$S=588(75sec+f)$ $\frac{1}{588}S=75sec+f$ Replace $sec$ with $75f$, $\frac{1}{588}S=75(75f)+f=(75^2+1)f$ $\frac{S}{588(75^2+1)}=f$ and multiply the above by 75 for $sec$. It's possible (seeing the two 75s paired together) there was an error made before the given question was posed but I'll leave that up to you OP.
