Answer:

(x,y,z)=(1477, 1464, 1437)

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the selling of the units positive earning and the purchasing of the units negative earning.

<h3>Case-1:</h3>
  • Mr. A purchases 4 units of Z and sells 3 units of X and 5 units of Y
  • Mr.A earns Rs6000

So, the equation would be

3x  +  5y - 4z = 6000

<h3>Case-2:</h3>
  • Mr. B purchases 3 units of Y and sells 2 units of X and 1 units of Z
  • Mr B neither lose nor gain meaning he has made 0₹

hence,

2x   - 3y  +  z = 0

<h3>Case-3:</h3>
  • Mr. C purchases 1 units of X and sells 4 units of Y and 6 units of Z
  • Mr.C earns 13000₹

therefore,

- x    + 4y  +  6z = 13000

Thus our system of equations is

\begin{cases}3x  +  5y - 4z = 6000\\2x   - 3y  +  z = 0\\ - x    + 4y  +  6z = 13000\end{cases}

<u>Solving </u><u>the </u><u>system </u><u>of </u><u>equations</u><u>:</u>

we will consider elimination method to solve the system of equations. To do so ,separate the equation in two parts which yields:

\begin{cases}3x  +  5y - 4z = 6000\\2x   - 3y  +  z = 0\end{cases}\\\begin{cases}2x   - 3y  +  z = 0\\ - x    + 4y  +  6z = 13000\end{cases}

Now solve the equation accordingly:

\implies\begin{cases}11x-7y=6000\\-13x+22y=13000\end{cases}

Solving the equation for x and y yields:

\implies\begin{cases}x= \dfrac{223000}{151}\\\\y= \dfrac{221000}{151}\end{cases}

plug in the value of x and y into 2x - 3y + z = 0 and simplify to get z. hence,

\implies z= \dfrac{217000}{151}

Therefore,the prices of commodities X,Y,Z are respectively approximately 1477, 1464, 1437

X + (x + 11) =79 solve x
posledela

Answer:

x=34

Step-by-step explanation:

x + (x + 11) =79

Combine like terms

2x+11 = 79

Subtract 11 from each side

2x+11-11 = 79-11

2x = 68

Divide by 2

2x/2 = 68/2

x = 34
