Let $x$, $y$ and $z$ satisfy the following two equations:
$$x+y-z=0 \tag{1}$$ $$2x-y+1=0 \tag{2}$$
We are to find the values of $a$, $b$ and $c$ such that the equation
$$ax^2+by^2+cz^2=1 \tag{3}$$
holds for all $x$, $y$ and $z$ satisfying (1) and (2).
First, given (1) and (2), we may express $y$ and $z$ in terms of $x$ as
$$y = \mathbf{A}x+\mathbf{B}, \quad z = \mathbf{C}x+\mathbf{D}. \tag{4}$$
This shows that the values of both $y$ and $z$ depend on the value of $x$.
Next, when (4) is substituted into (3) and the left side is arranged in descending order of powers of $x$, we obtain
$$(a+\mathbf{E}b+\mathbf{F}c)x^2+(\mathbf{G}b+\mathbf{H}c)x+b+c=1.$$
Since this equation holds for any $x$, it holds also when $x=0$, $x=1$ and $x=-1$ are substituted into it, from which we obtain
$$\left\{\begin{aligned} b+c &= 1 \\ a+9b+\mathbf{IJ}c &= 1 \\ a+b+\mathbf{K}c &= 1 \end{aligned}\right.$$
When we regard these as simultaneous equations and solve them for $a$, $b$ and $c$, we have
$$a = \mathbf{L}, \quad b = \mathbf{M}, \quad c = \mathbf{NO}.$$

At a construction site, to transport the earth extracted for the construction of a building's foundations, three different types of trucks are used: A, B, and C. Type A trucks have a capacity of 14 tonnes, type B trucks have 24 tonnes, and type C trucks have 28 tonnes. One more type A truck would be needed to equal the number of remaining trucks. 10\% of the capacity of all type B trucks equals one-seventh of the capacity of the largest tonnage trucks. Today, with each truck making a single trip at maximum capacity, 302 tonnes of earth have been extracted from the site. How much earth has been transported today by trucks of each type?
