You can put this solution on YOUR website! determine x, y and z when
x+y+z=1150
x=4z-100
x=6y+50
-------------
x + y + z = 1150
x + 0 -4z = -100
x -6y + 0 = 50
--------------------
Use any method to solve the system to get:
x = 800
y = 125
z = 225

You can put this solution on YOUR website! There are 3 equations and 3 unknowns, so
it should be solvable
(1) given
(2) given
(3)
(4)
(5) given
(6)
(7)
Now substitute (4) and (7) into (1)
(8)
Multiply both sides by
(9)
(10)
And from (4)
(4)
(11)
(12)
And from (7)
(7)
(13)
(14)
(15)
(16)
The answers are x = 800, y = 125, z = 225
check answers:
