66.875 = 66 7/8 as a mixed number
1) 3x+y+z=4
2) 2x+2y+3z=3
3) x+3y+2z = 5
1)*2 6x + 2y + 2z = 8
2) 2x + 2y +3z = 3

</u>If z=-1,
4x -(-1) =5
4x = 5-1
x = 4/4

Given:
nine 5 pound bags
distributed into 10-ounce bags
1 pound = 16 ounces
9 x 5 pounds = 45 pounds
45 pounds * 16 ounces/lbs = 45 * 16 oz = 720 ounces
720 ounces / 10 ounce bags = 720/10 = 72 bags.
The workers at the food pantry will be able to make 72 bags.
A^2 + b^2 + c^2 - ab - bc - ca = 0
a.a + b.b + c.c = a.b + b.c + c.a
equating term by term:-
a = b
b = c
c = a
Therefore a = b = c
