The answer is 27. This is how I arrived at the above answer. First I form three equations x+y=10............(1) x+z=20............ (2) y+z=24..............(3) from (1). y=10-x.......(4) from (3). z=24-y........(5) substitute equation 4 into equation 5 z=24-(10-x) z=14+x..............(6) From equation (2) z=20-x............(7) Since z=14+x in (6) and z=20-x in (7) they are both the same. thus equating equations 6 and 7 20-x=14+x 2x=20-14 x=3. substitute x=3 in equation (1) y=10-3 y=7 and substitute x=3 in equation (2) z=20-3 z=17. so, x=3, y=7. and. z=17 Proof: Substitute y=7 and z=17. in equation (2) 7+17=24....... So, the total weight of the three of them equals 3+7+17=27. With this simple analogy, I hope I've been able to convince and not confuse you ![]() ![]() ![]() BTW...... x=Rabbit y=Dog and z=Cat Thank you. 1 Like 1 Share |
