MHB Solve the Math Puzzle: 66+935+1389

[Dai]

If
28+453+9012=81.534
91+712+1024=49.091
Then
66+935+1389=?

Let
[math]\left [ \begin{matrix} a & b & c \\ a & b & c \end{matrix} \right ] ~ \left [ \begin{matrix} 28 & 91 \\ 453 & 712 \\ 9012 & 1024 \end{matrix} \right ] = \left [ \begin{matrix} 81.534 \\ 49.091 \end{matrix} \right ] [/math]

Letting a = 1 gives b = -0.07265695 and c = 0.009592496.

Thus
[math] \left [ \begin{matrix} a & b & c \end{matrix} \right ] ~ \left [ \begin{matrix} 66 \\ 935 \\ 1389 \end{matrix} \right ] = 11.389770769[/math]

But you probably didn't mean that. (Tongueout)

Nope :)
But nice try tho

The decimal values...do you have an exact expression for them or is your answer also going to be in decimal form?

And hey! It works!

My argument has been made, but I made a ghastly error in the way I wrote it. I am posting to correct this. I meant to say
[math]\left [ \begin{matrix} a & b & c \end{matrix} \right ] ~ \left [ \begin{matrix} 28 & 91 \\ 453 & 712 \\ 9012 & 1024 \end{matrix} \right ] = \left [ \begin{matrix} 81.534 & 49.091 \end{matrix} \right ] [/math]

Dan, in 10 hours it will have been a week...so at that time the OP should feel free to post their solution. (Yes)
