Question 31927: I need to find the value of each variable.
a+b=236
a+x=244
a+y=228
a+z=250
b+x=258
b+y=230
b+z=246
x+y=238
x+z=242
y+z=252

Answer by stanbon(75887) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Using a+b=236
and a+x+244
You subtract to get x-b=8
Using that and x+b=258
You add to get 2x=266
Then you know that x=133
Using that you can find the value of the rest of the variables.
