Find the lowest integral values for A, B, C, and D where:
A + B = CA + D = B
2C = 3D
B > 0
Solution to Problem: Solving simultaneously, you can get
D = (4/5) B and
D = 4A
Then A = (1/5) B and
C = (6/5) B
Since B > 0,
the smallest number for B would be 5 (to make it an integer).
Then D = 4, A = 1, and C = 6.
