Here is a homework question for my son, where the answer is required to be a triple of *numbers*, rather than mathematical expressions (you can only enter decimal digits in the answer).
Am I missing something? In any case, the question is not properly formulated, whatever the answer is intended to be.
We can work out a solution, subject to necessary and sufficient conditions, but the solution is not a number, but a function of x, y and z.
This is Sparx Maths in action, puzzling children and their parents, instead of promoting learning. Schools should really give this up.
