Nice elimination
2 a + 3 b = c ⟹ Eq.(1)
a + b + c = 4 2 ⟹ Eq.(2)
c − a = 1 9 ⟹ c = a + 1 9 ⟹ Eq.(3)
Substitute Eq.(3) into Eq.(1) and Eq.(2):
2 a + 3 b = a + 1 9 ⟹ a + 3 b = 1 9 ⟹ Eq.(4)
a + b + a + 1 9 = 4 2 ⟹ b = 2 3 − 2 a ⟹ Eq.(5)
Substitute Eq.(5) into Eq.(4):
a + 3 ( 2 3 − 2 a ) = 1 9 a + 6 9 − 6 a = 1 9 5 a = 5 0 a = 1 0
Use this to find b and c :
b = 2 3 − 2 ( 1 0 ) = 3 c = 1 0 + 1 9 = 2 9
a b c + 1 = 1 0 × 3 2 9 + 1 = 3 0 3 0 = 1
Nice substitution.
Solving Equation 3) for c yields c = 1 9 + a while solving Equation 1) for b yields b = 3 c − 2 a = 3 1 9 + a − 2 a = 3 1 9 − a
Now, plugging all this into equation 2) yields a + 3 1 9 − a + 1 9 + a = 4 2 .
3 1 9 − a + 2 a = 4 2 − 1 9 3 1 9 − a + 6 a = 2 3 1 9 + 5 a = 2 3 × 3 = 6 9 5 a = 6 9 − 1 9 = 5 0 a = 5 5 0 = 1 0 .
Knowing a , it is possible to solve for both b and c .
b = 3 1 9 − a = 3 1 9 − 1 0 = 3 9 = 3 ⟹ b = 3 . c = 1 9 + a = 1 9 + 1 0 = 2 9 .
a = 1 0 ; b = 3 ; c = 2 9
∴ a b c + 1 = 1 0 × 3 2 9 + 1 = 3 0 3 0 = 1 .
Correction: Equation 3) for c
Don't use 2 3 x 3 . Use "\times" instead
