26. The management committee of a residential colony decided to award some of its members (say x) for
honesty, some (say y) for helping others and some others (say z) for supervising the workers to keep the
colony neat and clean. The sum of all awardees is 12. Three times the sum of awardees for cooperation
and supervision added to two times the number of awardees for honesty is 33. If the sum of the number
of awardees for honesty and supervision is twice the number of awardees for helping others using matrix
method, find the number of awardees of each category.
