Answer:
Square=5
Triangle=17
Circle=8
Step-by-step explanation:
s=square, c=circle, t=triangle
What each column tells us:
2t+2c=50
3s+t=32
c+2s+t=35
What each row tells us:
2t+c=42
c+2s=18
t+2s=27
c+s+t=30
Solve for s and t:
We will use 3s+t=32 and t+2s=27 to find s and t.
3s+t=32
t=32-3s
Plug in 32-3s for t and solve for s.
(32-3s)+2s=27
32-s=27
-s=27-32
s=5
Square=5
Plug in 5 for s and solve for t.
t+2(5)=27
t+10=27
t=17
Triangle=17
Use c+s+t=30 to find c:
Plug in 5 for s and 17 for t.
c+5+17=30
c+22=30
c=8
Circle=8
