Question 1104878: A company produces three products everyday. Their total production on a certain day is 45 tons. It is found that the production of the third product exceeds the production of the first product by 8 tons while the total combined production of the first and third product is twice that of the second product. Determine the production level of each product using Cramer's rule

A company produces three products everyday. Their total production on a certain day is 45 tons. It is found that the production of the third product exceeds the production of the first product by 8 tons while the total combined production of the first and third product is twice that of the second product. Determine the production level of each product using Cramer's rule
------------------
Equations:
f + s + t = 45 tons
t = f + 8
f + t = 2s
---------------------
Rearrange::
f + s + t = 45
f + 0 - t = -8
f -2s + t = 0
-------------------
Use Cramer as you were taught.
