a² 16 46² 9 ? 9. One merchant has seven Asava horses (A), a second has nine Haya horses (H), and a third has ten camels (C). When each merchant gives two of his animals away-one to each other merchant-the combined value of each merchant's animals is the same. Assume that the values of the animals are integers, and each of the merchants now owns a total of X currency worth of animals, where X-(A+C+H)=168. Calculate the value of A + C+H, the combined value of owning one of each animal. ☆f #6 (A) 89 (B) 94 (C) 131 (D) 262 PVN-166 0.5 9200245415 00 SHOT ON MI 10 ULTRA
