Infer both isotope abundances from two isotope masses and their measured average mass. The page evaluates the displayed equation from your supplied values and presents both symbolic and substituted KaTeX working so the arithmetic can be checked.
x=(m2-m_avg)/(m2-m1)

Use boundary
The sample contains exactly two isotopes and the average lies between their masses.
Use internally consistent units and retain extra precision when carrying the result into another calculation.
