Let 1A student be a,
1B student be b,
1C student be c,
1D student be d.
a+b=78 ...1
b+c=72 ...2
c+d=90 ...3
Since there are 3 equcation but there are 4 un-kown nunmbers,
therefore, no ansewer is given to 1D student and 1A student's sum.
Ans. : no solution
設1A班有A個學生, 1B班有B個學生,1C班有C個學生, 1D班有D個學生
即
A + B = 78 ........ (1)
B + C = 72 ........ (2)
C + D = 90 ........ (3)
A + D = ?
(1) + (2) + (3)
(A + B) + (B + C) + (C + D) = 78 + 72 + 90
A + 2B + 2C + D = 240
A + 2(B+C) + D = 240
A + 2(72) + D = 240 <--------- [將(2)代入]
A + D = 240 - 2(72)
A + D = 96
