Conveyor A moves \(\displaystyle \frac{1000}{9}\) boxes in 1 minute Conveyor B moves \(\displaystyle \frac{1000}{7}\) boxes in 1 minute Conveyor C moves \(\displaystyle \frac{1000}{x}\) in 1 minute. All together they move \(\displaystyle \frac{1000}{3}\) in 1 minute. Put it all together and solve for x.
