Hi how would you solve formula such as this?

example

x=1
y=1
z=1

x = y * z
z = z + 1

x=?
y=?
z=?

Are you talking about a sequence? That is:
Initial conditions are z=1, y=1, x = x_z = x₁ = y * z = 1
Sequence is x is replaced by x_z+1 = y * z = z
or possibly you meant to do increment before and want
Sequence is x_z+1 = y * (z+1) = z+1

That looks like "computer code" where "x= x+ 1", which would be impossible in algebra, means "The new value of x is the old value of x plus 1.

If, to start with, you are given that x= y= z= 1, and then x= y*z, z= z+ 1, x= 1*1= 1 and z= z+1= 1+ 1= 2.
