0 BobbyGo Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 If C=6....then the 4th equation would not work to get a value of 16. If I'm misquoting the equation, let me know... but I'm pretty sure it works. c2 - (a - d) * (b + c) = 16 a=3 b=4 c=6 d=1 62 - (3 -1) * (4 + 6) = 16 36 - 2*10 = 16 36 - 20 = 16 16 = 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's one other answer such that all the variables are integers! Did anyone find that one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 mathmagician Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 a=3 b=4 c=-8 d=15 e=0 f=9 a=3 b=4 c=-4 d=16 e=0 f=4 a=3 b=4 c=6 d=1 e=0 f=9 there are three non-integer solutions, but as they require cube roots, I am to lazy to post them.
