How do you solve this= πŸ”΅πŸ”΄βšͺ +πŸ”΅πŸ”΄βšͺ +πŸ”΅πŸ”΄βšͺ __________ =πŸ”΄πŸ”΄πŸ”΄ What numbers are πŸ”΅πŸ”΄βšͺ

Let  πŸ”΅  = x

Let πŸ”΄ = y

Let βšͺ  = z

 

So....we can write this equation as 

 

3 [ 100x + 10y  + z]  =  100y + 10y + y

 

3 [100x + 10y + z ]  = 111y

 

100x + 10y + z  =  37y

 

100x + z   = 27y

 

Then....one possible answer  is if we let  x = 1 and z = 8, then y = 4

 

100(1) + 8   = 27(4)

 

108  = 108

 

So we have that

 

148  + 148 + 148   =  444

 

So.....

 

πŸ”΅ = 1

πŸ”΄ = 4    and

βšͺ = 8

 

 

 

cool cool cool

so  πŸ”΅=x

πŸ”΄=y &

βšͺ=z

in equation form it is:

 

(x*y*z)+(x*y*z)+(x*y*z)=y*y*y which we can simplyfy to:

3(x*y*z)=y*y*y which means that

x*y*z=(y3)/3 so

 

x=(y2) / (3*z)

 

so we can choose any random numbers for y & z and put them into the formula to work out x. if you want to to work out y it's

 

y=sqrt(x*3*z)

 

so we can choose any number for x & z then work out y from that. or for z it's

 

z=((y2)/x)/3

 

 i have checked these and they always work. so there is an infinite number of possible solutions. and just out of interest; CPhill says that one answer could be that x=1 y=4 and z=8 but (1*4*8)+(1*4*8)+(1*4*8)=32+32+32=96 but y*y*y=4*4*4=64 so CPhill's answer is saying that 64=96 which is not true. wink
