<PRE><B>Question 1051504</B>
A = 3B divide both sides by 3: B = 1/3A
A = C+16 Subtract 16 on both sides: C = A-16
:
A+1/3A+A-16 = 180
A+1/3A+A = 196
3/3A+1/3A+3/3A = 196
7/3A = 196 multiply both sides times 3
7A = 588
A = 84
B = 84/3 = 28
C = 84-16 = 68
-------------------
Check:
84+28+68 = 180 Correct
