contents One-sided linear systems of the form ``$Ax=b$'' are well-known and extensively studied over the tropical (max-plus) semiring and wide classes of related idempotent semirings. The usual approach is to first find the greatest solution to such system in polynomial time and then to solve a much harder problem of finding all minimal solutions. We develop an extension of this approach to the same systems over two well-known extensions of the tropical semiring: symmetrized and supertropical, and discuss the implications of our findings for the tropical cryptography.
