a+b = 17

a+c = 36 ----> c = 36 - a

b+c = 25 ----> c = 25 - b

So since both are c, we say

36 - a = 25 -b

From this : 11 = a - b

Look at 1st eqn: a + b = 17

Now we have: a - b = 11 ----> a = 11 + b

So we can substitute that into a + b = 17 to make:

(11 + b) + b = 17

11 + 2b = 17

So b = 3

If b = 3, then a + 3 = 17 , so a = 14

, 3 + c = 25, so c = 22

So a=14, b=3, c=22, so a+b+c = 14+3+22 = 39
