Need help with an NDB question
Getting ready for a written test in a couple of days...

An NDB bears 279 degrees relative from an aircraft heading 209 degrees (C).
With deviation of -7 degrees and variation of 18E. What is the bearing of the aircraft from the NDB.

I tried adding the heading plus the RB and subtracting 360 =128 degrees
then subtracted the deviation which brings it to 121. But the answer is wrong.
I dont know why to use the variation as i dont need to change it to true unless I am wrong...

Any takers?

Thanks,
