N/A
n/x = [n/(x+5)] +6
and
n/(x+5) = [n/(x+10)] +4

Solve for n

Any help appreciated!

Edit: Original question: When 5 new classrooms were built for a school, the average class size was reduced by 6. When another 5 classrooms were built, the average class size reduced by another 4. If the number of students remained the same throughout the changes, how many students were there at the school?

Okay after substitution, seems like the answers are wrong so I've edited them out.
