Answer:

x = -1 , y = -4 , z = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following system:

{-x - 5 y + z = 17 | (equation 1)

-5 x - 5 y + 5 z = 5 | (equation 2)

2 x + 5 y - 3 z = -10 | (equation 3)

Swap equation 1 with equation 2:

{-(5 x) - 5 y + 5 z = 5 | (equation 1)

-x - 5 y + z = 17 | (equation 2)

2 x + 5 y - 3 z = -10 | (equation 3)

Subtract 1/5 × (equation 1) from equation 2:

{-(5 x) - 5 y + 5 z = 5 | (equation 1)

0 x - 4 y+0 z = 16 | (equation 2)

2 x + 5 y - 3 z = -10 | (equation 3)

Divide equation 1 by 5:

{-x - y + z = 1 | (equation 1)

0 x - 4 y+0 z = 16 | (equation 2)

2 x + 5 y - 3 z = -10 | (equation 3)

Divide equation 2 by 4:

{-x - y + z = 1 | (equation 1)

0 x - y+0 z = 4 | (equation 2)

2 x + 5 y - 3 z = -10 | (equation 3)

Add 2 × (equation 1) to equation 3:

{-x - y + z = 1 | (equation 1)

0 x - y+0 z = 4 | (equation 2)

0 x+3 y - z = -8 | (equation 3)

Swap equation 2 with equation 3:

{-x - y + z = 1 | (equation 1)

0 x+3 y - z = -8 | (equation 2)

0 x - y+0 z = 4 | (equation 3)

Add 1/3 × (equation 2) to equation 3:

{-x - y + z = 1 | (equation 1)

0 x+3 y - z = -8 | (equation 2)

0 x+0 y - z/3 = 4/3 | (equation 3)

Multiply equation 3 by 3:

{-x - y + z = 1 | (equation 1)

0 x+3 y - z = -8 | (equation 2)

0 x+0 y - z = 4 | (equation 3)

Multiply equation 3 by -1:

{-x - y + z = 1 | (equation 1)

0 x+3 y - z = -8 | (equation 2)

0 x+0 y+z = -4 | (equation 3)

Add equation 3 to equation 2:

{-x - y + z = 1 | (equation 1)

0 x+3 y+0 z = -12 | (equation 2)

0 x+0 y+z = -4 | (equation 3)

Divide equation 2 by 3:

{-x - y + z = 1 | (equation 1)

0 x+y+0 z = -4 | (equation 2)

0 x+0 y+z = -4 | (equation 3)

Add equation 2 to equation 1:

{-x + 0 y+z = -3 | (equation 1)

0 x+y+0 z = -4 | (equation 2)

0 x+0 y+z = -4 | (equation 3)

Subtract equation 3 from equation 1:

{-x+0 y+0 z = 1 | (equation 1)

0 x+y+0 z = -4 | (equation 2)

0 x+0 y+z = -4 | (equation 3)

Multiply equation 1 by -1:

{x+0 y+0 z = -1 | (equation 1)

0 x+y+0 z = -4 | (equation 2)

0 x+0 y+z = -4 | (equation 3)

Collect results:

Answer: {x = -1 , y = -4 , z = -4

6x-3-11-8x=2 please show work
Ludmilka [50]

Answer: is x = -8

this is how i got it ______

6 x - 3 - 11 - 8 x = 2

(simplify both sides and combine like terms)

(6x + -8x ) + ( -3 + -11) = 2

- 2x  +  -14 = 2

-2x  -  14 = 2

( then you add 14 to both sides)

- 2x - 14 = 2

     +14       +14

-2x = 16

( then you divide both sides by -2)

-2x / -2   =   16/ -2

x = -8

ta da!! happy to help!

it made it here. this is for the second one.

( first, we subtract 8n from both sides)

13n + 26 = 8n - 29

-8n           -8n

5n + 26  =  -29

( then we subtract 26 from both sides)

5n + 26 = -29

     - 26    -26

5n = - 55

(after that we divide both sides by 5, we do this to make n alone )

5n/ 5 = -55/ 5

n = -11

Does anyone know how to do this?
kolezko [41]

Answer:

  • x = 1
  • y = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

The coefficients of x and y do not have any "nice" relations, so doing this by elimination is just "brute force" with no particular subtlety.

After multiplying by appropriate numbers, you want the coefficient of one of the variables in one equation to be the opposite of the coefficient of the same variable in the other equation. Here, we can get that by multiplying the first equation by 7 and the second equation by 2.

  7(2x +3y = -19)   ⇒   14x +21y = -133

  2(-7x +2y = -21)   ⇒   -14x +4y = -42

Adding these equations with opposite x-coefficients eliminates the x-terms. (That is how the "elimination" method gets its name.)

  (14x +21y) +(-14x +4y) = (-133) +(-42)

  25y = -175 . . . . . . . . simplify

  y = -7 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 25

Substituting this value into the first equation gives ...

  2x +3(-7) = -19

  2x = 2 . . . . . . . . . add 21

  x = 1 . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

The solution is x = 1, y = -7.

<em>Additional comment</em>

The multipliers used in this process are essentially the coefficients of one of the variables, with one of them negated. Here, we chose the x-coefficients, because negating one of them gives two positive multipliers. We judge it easier to do the arithmetic using positive numbers.

Had we chosen to use the y-coefficients (3 and 2) for our multipliers, we would probably multiply the first equation by 2, and the second equation by -3. That way, the remaining x-coefficient would be positive.

Planning ahead is helpful, but not essential. It can help to avoid errors and make the work easier to do.
