Yep mine would have been right if 60 was 59, again, sorry for the error

and § was a placeholder for a digit.. since in a base higher than 10, the number 10 has to be represented by 1 digit. Normally its A, but I didnt want it to be that easy so I made it a random symbol.

NEW PROBLEM
***************

60-(3•x) = 2§

2+x = 10

what is x? and what number does § represent?

x is 8, §is 18

x is 8, §is 18

2§ does not mean that 2 multiplied by §, b/c • was already used for multiplication symbol.

§ is a place holder for a digit. In addition, the numbers on the right and left hand sides are of different bases.

brhan is correct, and the (only) correct answer has already been given (by him, mine would have been right if not for that typo )

I plan on making another topic like this soon sometime so you can answer then
