$$\left. \begin{array} { l } { \frac{5745}{75} = x }\\ { y = 40 \cdot 78 + 35 \cdot 25 }\\ { z = y }\\ { a = z }\\ { \text{Solve for } b \text{ where} } \\ { b = a } \end{array} \right.$$

Solve for x, y, z, a, b

$$b=3995$$

Solution Steps

Consider the first equation. Reduce the fraction \frac{5745}{75} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 15.

$$\frac{383}{5}=x$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$x=\frac{383}{5}$$

Consider the second equation. Do the multiplications.

$$y=3120+875$$

Add 3120 and 875 to get 3995.

$$y=3995$$

Consider the third equation. Insert the known values of variables into the equation.

$$z=3995$$

Consider the fourth equation. Insert the known values of variables into the equation.

$$a=3995$$

Consider the fifth equation. Insert the known values of variables into the equation.

$$b=3995$$

The system is now solved.

$$x=\frac{383}{5} y=3995 z=3995 a=3995 b=3995$$
