The sum of three numbers is 9. The first number minus the second plus the third is 3. The first minus the third is 1 more than the second. Find the numbers.
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equations:
\n" ); document.write( "a + b + c = 9
\n" ); document.write( "a - b + c = 3
\n" ); document.write( "a + 0 - c = b+1
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Rearrange:
\n" ); document.write( "a + b + c = 9
\n" ); document.write( "a - b + c = 3
\n" ); document.write( "a - b - c = 1
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Use any method to solve the system to get:
\n" ); document.write( "a = 5
\n" ); document.write( "b = 3
\n" ); document.write( "c = 1
