Mass&Balance Question

I've come across a question in the Oxford ATPL book on mass and balance which I just cannot get.

Q. An aeroplane with a two wheel nose gear and four main wheels rests on the ground with a single nose wheel load of 725kg and a single main wheel load of 6000kg. The distance between nose wheels and the main wheels is 10 metres. How far is the CG in front of the main wheels?

A.The CG is 57cm in front of the main wheels.

How do you work this out?
