Question

The sum of three numbers is 10. Two times the second number minus the first number is equal to 12.

Answer 1

Answer:

-10,1,19

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y+z = 10 (Equation 1)

2y-x= 12  (Equation 2)

x-y+2z = 7 (Equation 3)

(Equation 2): -x = -2y+12

                       x = 2y-12 (Equation 4)

(Equation 1) - (Equation 3): 2y-z = 3

                                              -z = -2y+3

                                               z = 2y-3 (Equation 5)

Substitute (4) and (5) into (1)

x+y+z = 10

(2y-12)+y+(2y-3) = 10

5y-15 = 10

5y = 5

y=1

Substitute y=1 into (2)

2y-x= 12

2(1)-x= 12

2-x= 12

-x= 12-2

-x= 10

x= -10

Substitute y=1 and x=-10 into (1)

x+y+z = 10

-10+1+z = 10

z-9 = 10

z = 10+9

z = 19

Order: x = -10, y = 1, and z = 19
