Question

The sum of three numbers is 19 two times the first number is increased by six times the second number plus the third number is 12 why in the number is the Sims requirements below can best be used to determine the three numbers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: x+    y+z=19   ...(1)

2x+6y+z=12   ...(2)

3x+8y+z=-14    ...(3)

(2)-(1) gives

x+5y =-7   ...(4)

(3)-(1)  gives

2x+7y= -33   ...(5)

multiply (4) by 2

2x+10y=-14   ...(6)

(6)-(5) gives

3y=19

y=19/3

x+95/3=-7

x=7+95/3=(21+95)/3=116/3

from (1)

116/3+19/3+z=19

(116+19)/3+z=19

135/3+z=19

45+z=19

z=19-45=-26
