a+b=10
b+c=10
c+a=10
Then 2(a+b+c)=10+10+10
a+b+c=30/2
a+b+c=15

a+b=10, b+c=10 so a=c c+a=10 so 2a=10 so a=5, c=5 10-a=b 10-5=5

a=b=c 3a=15

Add all equations to get:- 2 ( a + b + c ) = 30 a + b + c = 15 2(a + b + c) = 30\\ a + b + c = \color{#69047E}{\boxed{15}}

a+b=10 b+c=10 and c+a=10 you add them together and you get a+a+b+b+c+c=30 but since you only want one of each letter and there is 2 of each you divide it by 2. 30/2=15

a + b = 10 a+b=10

b + c = 10 b+c=10

a + c = 10 a+c=10

a + b + b + c + a + c = 10 + 10 + 10 = 30 a+b+b+c+a+c=10+10+10=30

2 a + 2 b + 2 c = 30 = 2 ( a + b + c + 2a+2b+2c=30=2(a+b+c+

a + b + c = 30 2 a+b+c=\frac {30}{2}
