In matrix form, the system is given by

\begin{bmatrix} -1 & 1 & -1 \\ 2 & -1 & 1 \\ 3 & 2 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} x \\ y \\ z \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} -20 \\ 29 \\ 29 \end{bmatrix}

I'll use G-J elimination. Consider the augmented matrix

\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} -1 & 1 & -1 & -20 \\ 2 & -1 & 1 & 29 \\ 3 & 2 & 1 & 29 \end{array} \right]

• Multiply through row 1 by -1.

\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & -1 & 1 & 20 \\ 2 & -1 & 1 & 29 \\ 3 & 2 & 1 & 29 \end{array} \right]

• Eliminate the entries in the first column of the second and third rows. Combine -2 (row 1) with row 2, and -3 (row 1) with row 3.

\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & -1 & 1 & 20 \\ 0 & 1 & -1 & -11 \\ 0 & 5 & -2 & -31 \end{array} \right]

• Eliminate the entry in the second column of the third row. Combine -5 (row 2) with row 3.

\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & -1 & 1 & 20 \\ 0 & 1 & -1 & -11 \\ 0 & 0 & 3 & 24 \end{array} \right]

• Multiply row 3 by 1/3.

\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & -1 & 1 & 20 \\ 0 & 1 & -1 & -11 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 8 \end{array} \right]

• Eliminate the entry in the third column of the second row. Combine row 2 with row 3.

\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & -1 & 1 & 20 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & -3 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 8 \end{array} \right]

• Eliminate the entries in the second and third columns of the first row. Combine row 1 with row 2 and -1 (row 3).

\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & 0 & 0 & 9 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & -3 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 8 \end{array} \right]

Then the solution to the system is

\boxed{x=9, y=-3, z=8}

If you want to use G elimination and substitution, you'd stop at the step with the augmented matrix

\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & -1 & 1 & 20 \\ 0 & 1 & -1 & -11 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 8 \end{array} \right]

The third row tells us that z=8. Then in the second row,

y-z = -11 \implies y=-11 + 8 = -3

and in the first row,

x-y+z=20 \implies x=20 + (-3) - 8 = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

here \: given \: that \: total \: lenth = bd = 67 \\ then \: bd = bc + cd \\ so \: we \: can \: write \: that \\ 67 = 3x - 2 + 4x + 13 \\67 =  3x + 4x - 2 + 13 \\ 67 = 7x + 11 \\ 7x = 67 - 11 \\ 7x = 56 \\ x =  \frac{56}{7}  \\ x = 8 \\ thankyou

What is the equation of the line that passes through the points (1,5) and (0,3)?
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

y=2x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

first use the y2-y1/x2-x1 then use y=mx+b after

plug in 3 for y2 and 5 for y1

then plug in 0 for x2 and 1 for x1

\frac{3-5}{0-1}=\frac{-2}{-1} =2 and 2 is ur slope

___________________

now use y=mx+b

i usually use the first point but u can u anyone u want

plug in 1 for x

plug in 5 for y

and plug in 2 for m

5=2(1)+b

5=2+b

subtract 2 on both sides

5-2=3

3=b and b is ur y-intercept

y=2x+3

hope this helps
