I tried assigning a variable to m and testing answers but couldn't get there. Is this not a viable option?

Let's assign value 2 to m,

Each of the 2 machines print 6 newspapers in s seconds => total 12 newspapers printed in s seconds

18,000 newspapers will be printed in \(\frac{18000}{12} * s\) seconds => 1500s seconds => 1500s/60 minutes => 50s/2 minutes

We had assigned m = 2 => 50s/m minutes
