Answer:

$x=\frac{12}{7} \\y=\frac{12}{5} \\z=-12$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's re-write the equations in order to get the variables as separated in independent terms as possible \:

First equation:

$\frac{xy}{x+y} =1\\xy=x+y\\1=\frac{x+y}{xy} \\1=\frac{1}{y} +\frac{1}{x}$

Second equation:

$\frac{xz}{x+z} =2\\xz=2\,(x+z)\\\frac{1}{2} =\frac{x+z}{xz} \\\frac{1}{2} =\frac{1}{z} +\frac{1}{x}$

Third equation:

$\frac{yz}{y+z} =3\\yz=3\,(y+z)\\\frac{1}{3} =\frac{y+z}{yz} \\\frac{1}{3}=\frac{1}{z} +\frac{1}{y}$

Now let's subtract term by term the reduced equation 3 from the reduced equation 1 in order to eliminate the term that contains "y":

$1=\frac{1}{y} +\frac{1}{x} \\-\\\frac{1}{3} =\frac{1}{z} +\frac{1}{y}\\\frac{2}{3} =\frac{1}{x} -\frac{1}{z}$

Combine this last expression term by term with the reduced equation 2, and solve for "x" :

$\frac{2}{3} =\frac{1}{x} -\frac{1}{z} \\+\\\frac{1}{2} =\frac{1}{z} +\frac{1}{x} \\ \\\frac{7}{6} =\frac{2}{x}\\ \\x=\frac{12}{7}$

Now we use this value for "x" back in equation 1 to solve for "y":

$1=\frac{1}{y} +\frac{1}{x} \\1=\frac{1}{y} +\frac{7}{12}\\1-\frac{7}{12}=\frac{1}{y} \\ \\\frac{1}{y} =\frac{5}{12} \\y=\frac{12}{5}$

And finally we solve for the third unknown "z":

$\frac{1}{2} =\frac{1}{z} +\frac{1}{x} \\\\\frac{1}{2} =\frac{1}{z} +\frac{7}{12} \\\\\frac{1}{z} =\frac{1}{2}-\frac{7}{12} \\\\\frac{1}{z} =-\frac{1}{12}\\z=-12$

Three-fourths of the people at a concert are children. If there are 87 children, what is the total number of people at the conce

babymother [125]

Hello!

Let's write this as an equation below.

3/4x=87

To find our answer ,we just divide both sides of the equation by 3/4.

x=116

Therefore, 116 people attended the concert.

I hope this helps!

Virty [35]

It will be 3,000 because 14 x 3 = 42 and 1,000 x 3 = 3,000
