Answer:

since 2x = z

replace z with 2x

900000 = x+y+z

900000 = x+y+2x

900000 = 3x+y - eqn (1)

79750= 0.08x +0.09y+0.01z

79750 = 0.08x +0.09y+0.01(2x)

79750 = 0.08x+0.09y+0.02x

79750 = 0.10x +0.09y - eqn(2)

from eqn(1)

900000 = 3x + y

y = 900000-3x - eqn(3)

substitute eqn(3) in eqn(2)

79750 = 0.1x +0.09y

79750=0.1x + 0.09(900000-3x)

79750=0.1x+ 81000 - 0.27x

collect like terms

79750 -81000 = 0.1x-0.27x

-1250 = -0.17x

to find x divide both sides by -0.17

x = -1250/-0.17 ~= 7353

since 2x = z

2*7353 = 14706

in eqn(3)

y = 900000-3x

y= 900000-3(7353)

y = 900000-22059

y = 877941

x =7353,y= 877941,z=14706
