    x = 368 production of country A (millions of (MT)

    y = 215 production of country B (millions of (MT)

    z = 93 production of country C (millions of (MT)

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let call production as follows

    Country A production x millions on MT

    Country B production y millions on MT

    Country C production z millions on MT

    Then according to problem statement

    x + y + z = 676 (1)

    x = 60 + y + z

    y = 122 + z

    That system (3 equations and three unknown varables) could be solved by any of the available procedures.

    By subtitution we get

    x = 60 + 122 + z + z ⇒ x = 182 + 2*z

    And

    182 + 2*z + 122 + z + z = 676

    Solving for z

    304 + 4*z = 676 ⇒ 4*z = 676 - 304 ⇒ 4*z = 372

    z = 372/4 ⇒ z = 93 millions of (MT)

    And

    y = 122 + z ⇒ y = 122 + 93 ⇒ y = 215 millions of (MT)

    x = 182 + 2*z ⇒ x = 182 + 2 (93) ⇒ x = 182 + 186

    x = 368 millions of (MT)

    We can cheked in equation 1

    x = 368

    y = 215

    z = 93

    Give a total of 676 millions of (MT)
