Algebra.Com's Answer #57653 by scott8148(6628)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! three unknowns need three different equations ... the equations for this case are:\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "A+B+C=12 ... A+B=C/2 ... A+C=3B\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "subtract second equation from first equation to get C=12-(C/2) ... (3/2)C=12 ... C=8\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "subtract third equation from first equation to get B=12-3B ... 4B=12 ... B=3\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "using first equation A+3+8=12 ... A=1 \n" ); document.write( " |
