Hi soss20,

In the future, you should post specific GMAT prompts in their respective sub-forums. For example, the Problem Solving forum can be found here:

https://gmatclub.com/forum/problem-solving-ps-140/

In addition, you should post the ENTIRE prompt (including the Answer choices). Based on how this question is written, the 5 answers would have been numbers - meaning that you could have avoided a long, Algebraic approach and TESTed THE ANSWERS instead.

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
