Question 931892: In 1987, there were 4.946 million people registered
to vote in a state. Of these, x million
were registered democrats, y million were registered
republicans, and z million were registered
as independent. The value of x is 0.599
million more than the value of y. The value
of y is 1.356 million more than z. How many
democrats were registered?

x + y + z = 4.946
x = y + 0.599
y = z + 1.356
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
x + y + z = 4.946
x - y = 0.599
y - z = 1.356
