A= xgal/h, B=ygal/h, C= zgal/h
x+y+z=3200....1
x+y=1800......2
x+z= 2000......3
multiply (2) by -1 and add to (1)
-x-y=-1800
add it to (1)
z=1400
In eq(3)
x+z=2000
plug z
x+1400=2000
x=600
...
Plug x & z in (1)
600+y+1400=3200
y=1200
.....................
Part I 10.00% per annum
Part II 6.00% per annum
x+y=6300 ------------------------1
10.00%x+ 6.00%y=$502.00
Multiply by 100
10x+6y=$50,200.00 --------2
Multiply (1) by -10
we get
-10x-10y=-63000.00
Add this to (2)
-4y=-$12,800.00
divide by -4
y=$3,200.00 investment at 6.00%
Balance $3,100.00 investment at 10.00%
