If w, x, y, and z are real numbers satisfying:

w+x+y = -2,

w+x+z = 4,

w+y+z = 19

x+y+z = 16

what is wx + yz?

Adding everything gives us: \(3(w+x+y+z) = 37\)

 

This means \(w + x + y + z = {37 \over 3}\).

 

Now, you can use this to solve for w, x, y, and z, and compute the answer. 

 

Can you take it from here?
