$$\left. \begin{array} { l } { x + 1 = 5 y }\\ { y = 3 }\\ { z = x }\\ { a = z }\\ { b = a }\\ { \text{Solve for } c \text{ where} } \\ { c = b } \end{array} \right.$$

Solve for x, y, z, a, b, c

$$c=14$$

Solution Steps

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

$$x+1=5\times 3$$

Multiply 5 and 3 to get 15.

$$x+1=15$$

Subtract 1 from both sides.

$$x=15-1$$

Subtract 1 from 15 to get 14.

$$x=14$$

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

$$z=14$$

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

$$a=14$$

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

$$b=14$$

Consider the equation (6). Insert the known values of variables into the equation.

$$c=14$$

The system is now solved.

$$x=14 y=3 z=14 a=14 b=14 c=14$$
