.06x + .05y + .03z = 414.75
How much money did the owner borrow on each card
You can put this solution on YOUR website! .......eq.1 .......eq.2 .......eq.3........all equations multiply by to get whole numbers
___________________________________
.......eq.1 .......eq.2 .......eq.3

.......eq.1........multiply by then subtract eq.2 from eq.1 .......eq.2
______________________________
.......eq.1
- .......eq.2
_______________________________
........divide by .........solve for ....................eq.1a
go to .......eq.3......plug in eq.1a
.......solve for ...............eq1b
go to .......eq.2......plug in eq.1a and eq.1b
............solve for ..........now find and
