Answer:
x = 2; y = 3; z = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
For the first fertilizer (A) we can form the equation:
y + 2z = 5
For the second fertilizer (B) we can form the equation:
x + 2y + 5z = 13
For the third fertilizer (C) we can form the equation:
x + 2z = 4
solving simulteneously:
y = 5 - 2z
x = 4 -2z
Substituting (i) and (ii) into (2)
4 - 2z + 10 -4z + 5z = 13
14-z =13, therefore z = 1
substituting z into (i) and (ii)
y = 3
x = 2
