Let x = a+b+c+d+e+f and y = g+h+i+j+k+l
x+y=24.05 From (1)
x-y=6.05 From (2)
add
2x=30.1
x=15.05
y=24.05-15.05 = 9
so
lets look at (3)
9x/y = 9*15.05/9 = 15.05 so (3) is true and it does not help solve anything.
So we have exhausted all the clues from lines 1,2 and 3 and we have discovered that:
a+b+c+d+e+f = 15.05 and g+h+i+j+k+l = 9
My interest has now wained, maybe I will come back to it later. :)
