X = first venture, y = second venture, z = third venture
x + y + z = 15,000
x + z = y + 7000
3x + 2y + 2z = 39,000
these are ur equations.....
x + y + z = 15,000
x - y + z = 7000
--------------------add
2x + 2z = 22,000
x + y + z = 15,000....multiply by -2
3x + 2y + 2z = 39,000
-------------------
-2x - 2y - 2z = - 30,000 (result of multiplying by -2)
3x + 2y + 2z = 39,000
------------------add
x = 9,000
2x + 2z = 22,000
2(9000) + 2z = 22000
18,000 + 2z = 22000
2z = 22000 - 18000
2z = 4000
z = 4000/2
z = 2,000
x + y + z = 15,000
9000 + y + 2000 = 15,000
11,000 + y = 15,000
y = 15,000 - 11,000
y = 4,000
first venture (x) = 9,000 <==
second venture (y) = 4,000 <==
third venture (z) = 2,000 <==
4(x + 9) + 5x = 9x - 36
=> 4x + 36 + 5x = 9x - 36
=> 9x + 36 = 9x - 36
=> 9x - 9x = -36 - 36
=> 0 = -72
You can see that the equation doesn't hold true.
So there is no solution for this equation.
Answer is C. no real solutions
Multiply -12 to each of the terms (make sure to carry the negative!)
-36a - 24b + 12 will be your final answer :)
