1 \leq x+y+3z \leq 20 \leq 2y-z \leq 3-1 \leq x+y \leq 1

The Attempt at a Solution



I know how to do simple triple integrals, but all the variables in the inequalities are tripping me up. I tried fumbling with the inequalities to find -y-1 \leq x \leq 1-y\frac{z}{2} \leq y \leq \frac{3+z}{2}\frac{1-x-y}{3} \leq z \leq \frac{2-x-y}{3} but quickly realized that if I just did that, my solution would have x and y variables in it. Basically, I'm not sure about what else my first step should be to fully isolate at least one of the variables.

I would consider the substitutions <br /> u = x + y + 3z \\<br /> v = 2y - z \\<br /> w = x + y which give you simple boundaries in the new variables.

There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
