Hiroshi did 30 minutes history, 60 minutes English, and x minutes of math.

If we add all of these values together we would have he total amount of homework he did is 30 + 60 + x minutes.

One fourth of his total time is spent on math so ... let's just take 1/4 of that total amount!

a. 1/4 (x + 30 + 60) = x
