Mass & Balance - ATPL question

Probably this is an easy question but i cant get my head round it:

An aeroplane with a two wheel nose gear and four main wheels rests on the ground with a single nose wheel load of 500 kg and a single main wheel load of 6000 kg. The distance between the nose wheels and the main wheels is 10 meter. How far is the centre of gravity in front of the main wheels?

Without the distances aft of the datum how can i calculate the answer?
