North Carolina = x
\n" ); document.write( "New york = y
\n" ); document.write( "Oklahoma = z
\n" ); document.write( "x=22000+y ---------->x-y=22000
\n" ); document.write( "y=z-187000 --------->y-z=-187000
\n" ); document.write( "x+y+z=437000\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x+y+z=437000
\n" ); document.write( "y-z=-187000
\n" ); document.write( "x+2y=250000 (new equation)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x+2y=250000 ------------------>x+2y=250000
\n" ); document.write( "x-y=22000 -------------------->2x-2y=44000
\n" ); document.write( "3x=294000
\n" ); document.write( "x=98000\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "98000-y=22000
\n" ); document.write( "y=76000
\n" ); document.write( "76000-z=-187000
\n" ); document.write( "z=263000\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Hence, the population for North Carolina is 98000, for New york its 76000, and for Oklahoma its 263000 \n" ); document.write( "
