Question

"An object is 23 cm from a converging lens. A diverging lens with a focal length of
−15 cm is 31 cm beyond the converging lens. The two-lens system forms a real inverted
image 52 cm past the diverging lens. What is the focal length of the converging lens?"

Can you walk me through this question. The other answers on this site are different from eachother and my friend and me have both gotten different answers so we're lost.
