x-2y+5z=0
-2x+4y+z=0
-7x+14y+9z=0
2x (i)+ (ii) => z=0
=> x=2y
=> 15 ≤ x²+y²+z² ≤ 150
=> 15 ≤ 4y²+y² ≤ 150
=> 3 ≤ y² ≤ 30
=> y = ±2, ±3, ±4, ±5
=> 8 solutions

First, express area as a function of t. Suppose there is a triangle whose vertices are A (0,0), B (t,0) and C (0, t). Here, we can use the determinant formula for the area of a triangle.
Let us substitute the coordinates in the above equation:
Now, let us calculate area when t = 4 and substitute t = 4 into function:

? 2 adj (3 A adj (2A)|
= 23.? 3 A adj (2A)|
|2
= 23 ⋅ (33)2 ⋅ | A|2 ⋅ |adj (2 A)|2
= 23 ⋅ 36 ⋅ | A|2 ⋅ (|2 A|2)2
= 23 ⋅ 36 ⋅ | A|2 [ (23)2 ⋅ | A|2]2
= 23. 36. |A|2. 212. |A|4
= 215. 36. |A|6
= 215 ⋅ 36 ⋅ 56 = 2? ⋅ 3? ⋅ 5?
? ? = 15? = 6? = 6
? +? +? = 27

|2x-3 3x-4 4x-5|
|3x-5 5x-8 10x-17|
= Ax³ + Bx² + Cx + D, then B + C is equal to:

Δ = | x-2 2x-3 3x-4 |
| 2x-3 3x-4 4x-5 |
| 3x-5 5x-8 10x-17|
= Ax³ + Bx² + Cx + D.
R? → R? - R? , R? → R? - R?
Δ = | x-2 2x-3 3x-4 |
| x-1 |
| x-2 (x-2) 6 (x-2) |
= (x-1) (x-2) | 1 2x-3 3x-4 |
| 1 |
| 1 2 6 |
= -3 (x - 1)² (x - 2) = -3x³ + 12x² - 15x + 6
∴ B + C = 12 - 15 = -3

This is a mnemonic method that computes the determinant of 3*3 times. It involves drawing diagonal lines for remembring how to multiply and sum elements of the matrix. Say there is a matrix:
| a b c |
| d e f |
| g h i |
We will first multiply the elements that are connected by three diagonals that run from top-left to bottom right:
a*e*i
b*f*g
c*d*h
Let us now sum these products: (aei)+ (bfg)+ (cdh)
Now, we will multiply the elements connected by three diagonals from top-right to bottom left:
c*e*g
b*d*i
a*f*h
Let us now sum these products:
(ceg)+ (bdi)+ (afh)
After this, let us subtract the sum of negative terms from the sum of positive terms:

Δ = |1 1 1| = 0
|1 2 3|
|3 2 λ|
⇒ 1(2λ - 6) - 1(λ - 9) + 1(-4) = 0
⇒ λ = 1
Δx = |6 1 1|
|10 2 3| = 0
|μ 2 λ|
⇒ 2λ + μ = 16
⇒ μ = 14
μ - λ² = 14 - 1 = 13

So D = 0 → |, [1,3, k²], | = 0 ⇒ k² = 9
x + y + 3z = 0
x + 3y + 9z = 0
3x + y + 3z = 0
(1)- (3)
x = 0 ⇒ y + 3z = 0
y/z = -3
So x + (y/z) = -3
