Question

What is the solution of this linear equation see photo

Answer 1

SOLUTIION

The given equations are

`p+q+r=32,p-r=4,2p+q=36`

This further gives

Therefore the solutions are:

`p=(-q+36)/(2),r=(36-q)/(2)-4`

From the option considering the value q=8, it follows

`\begin{gathered} p=(-8+36)/(2) \\ p=14 \end{gathered}`

And

`\begin{gathered} r=(36-8)/(2)-4 \\ r=14-4 \\ r=10 \end{gathered}`

Therefore the solution is

`(14,8,10)`
