Three times the 1st number plus the 2nd number plus twice the 3rd is 5 is the same as 3x+y+2z=5. If three times the 2nd number is subtracted from the sum of the 1st and three times the 3rd number, the result is 2 is just x+3z-3y=2. And if the 3rd number is subtracted from two times the 1st number and three times the 2nd, giving a result of 1 means 2x+3y-z=1. Then you use substition on these equations to get a equation where one variable equals 2 others, like using the first to get y=5-2z-3x and then this can be substituted into the other two to get x+3z-3(5-2z-3x)=2 and 2x+3(5-2z-3x)-z=1 we can then simplify and subtract the equations. After simplification we have 10x+9z=17 and 7z+7x=16 which can be turned into 70x+63z=119 and 70x+70z=160 which can be then subtracted to get that 7z=41 and z=41/7. Now we backtrack to a two variable equation like 7z+7x=16 and plug in to find x. So after plugging in we get 41+7x=16 and 7x=-25 so x=-25/7. Now we choose a 3 variable equation and plug in. So taking y=5-2z-3x we plug in 41/7 for z and -25/7 for x to get y=5-82/7+75/7 and y=5-7/7 and y=4. Therefore x = -25/7 y = 4 and z = 41/7.

hillary is cycling across montana taking a 845 mile course . the first week she covered.320 miles. the second week she traveled
Blababa [14]

Answer:

175 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Hillary has travelled

320 + 350 = 670 miles

in the first two weeks.

Therefore, Hillary starts with 670 miles and needs to add a certain number of miles "x" to get 845 in total.

670 + x = 845

And if we subtract 670 from both sides:

x = 845 - 670 = 175

175 miles
