$59.40 was the original price for the shoes
The lowest number is 3.
3 x 588 = 1,764
1,764 = (42) squared
I don't know an easy way to do it. I just slogged through it one-by-one ...
I tried 2 , then I tried 3 and I didn't have to go any farther.
You could have done the same thing. The difference between us is that
I'm willing to work on it just for fun, whereas you're not willing to work on it
even for homework. That's why I became good in math and you might not.
X + y = 15
Rearrange this to isolate for x.
x = 15 - y
x + z = 20
Rearrange this to isolate for x also.
x = 20 - z
Since they are both equal to x, that means they are equal to each other (x = x)
Set them equal to each other.
15 - y = 20 - z
Now, isolate for y.
y = 15 - 20 + z
Now, use y + z = 25 and isolate for y.
y = 25 - z
Since they are both equal to y, we set them equal to each other.
15 - 20 + z = 25 - z
Solve for z
z + z = 25 - 15 + 20
2z = 30
2z/2 = 30/z
z = 15
Now you can plug the value for z into the other equations to find y and x.
x + z = 20
x +15 = 20
x = 20-15
x = 5
y + z = 25
y + 15 = 25
y = 25 - 15
y = 10
