Question

<br />$if \: (a + b): \: (b +c ):(c +a ) = 6:7:8 \: and \: a + b + c = 14 \: then \: c = ? \:$<br />​

Answer 1

$STEPS- EXPLANATION \:\: :$

✔ The solution to the above given question is mentioned in the above three attached pictures.

✔ We had just proceeded our solution by taking the common ratio as x and ultinately the value of "c", i.e., the required answer is 6.

✔ We had applied the elimination method of solving simultaneous linear equations here. We, however, had added all the three equations and on doing so, we had easily calculated the value of x.

✔ Without any tension, we had solved it furthermore for obtaining the value of c through calculations.
