Translating:
A=(B+C+D+E)/6 so 6A=B+C+D+E so:
A+B+C+D+E=7A=42000 and
A=6000
The rest are determined the same way:
A=6000
B=7000
C=8400
D=10500
_____
31900
So E=42000-31900=10100

Ok thank you. I used a similar approach, after translation I ended up adding 1 on both sides to get to the equation I did not think that I could substitute this back into the A+B+C+D+E = 42000 equation so that was a bit of a miss I guess. I had spend a few extra minutes to find my way out.
