# Solve This Math Problem And Win 3 SBD

in #science3 years ago

Using the following three equations, find the value for x. First to comment correctly wins 3 SBD! Easy riches baby!
The variables a, b, and c hold the same value between the three equations.

$\large&space;a+b+c=5$

$\large&space;\frac{1}{a+b}+\frac{1}{b+c}+\frac{1}{c+a}=6$

$\large&space;\frac{c}{a+b}+\frac{a}{b+c}+\frac{b}{c+a}=x$

42 was actually a misspelling of 72, which is the number of virgins in heaven, which is the real meaning of life.
