Solution

Let's break down and solve the given system of equations using the elimination method.

The system of equations is:

1. & \quad a + b + c = 13000 \\ 2. & \quad a + b + 3c = 27000 \\ 3. & \quad 2a + 3b + 3c = 37000 \\ \end{align*}$$ ### Option 1: Eliminate $$a$$ 1. Subtract equation 1 from equation 2 to eliminate $$a$$: $$(a + b + 3c) - (a + b + c) = 27000 - 13000$$ This simplifies to: $$2c = 14000 \quad \Rightarrow \quad c = 7000$$ 2. Now, substitute $$c = 7000$$ into equation 1: $$a + b + 7000 = 13000 \quad \Rightarrow \quad a + b = 6000$$ 3. Substitute $$c = 7000$$ into equation 3: $$2a + 3b + 3(7000) = 37000 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 2a + 3b + 21000 = 37000$$ $$2a + 3b = 16000$$ Now, solve the system: $$\begin{align*} a + b &= 6000 \\ 2a + 3b &= 16000 \end{align*}$$ Multiply the first equation by 2 to eliminate $$a$$: $$2(a + b) = 12000 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 2a + 2b = 12000$$ Now, subtract this from the second equation: $$(2a + 3b) - (2a + 2b) = 16000 - 12000$$ $$b = 4000$$ Finally, substitute $$b = 4000$$ into $$a + b = 6000$$: $$a + 4000 = 6000 \quad \Rightarrow \quad a = 2000$$ ### Solution: $$a = 2000, \quad b = 4000, \quad c = 7000$$ ### Effectiveness of elimination of variables: The elimination of variable $$a$$ seems to work smoothly and efficiently, as we could easily solve for $$c$$, then use that to find $$a$$ and $$b$$. Would you like me to explore the other elimination methods or solve more related problems? Let me know if you want further details. ### Related questions: 1. How would the solution differ if we first eliminated $$b$$? 2. Can we use substitution instead of elimination in this system? 3. What is the graphical interpretation of solving this system of equations? 4. What would happen if the system had no solutions or infinite solutions? 5. How would you verify the solution using matrix methods? ### Tip: When solving systems of equations, eliminating the variable that appears with the simplest coefficients can often reduce complexity and lead to faster solutions.
