<span>A) 2x + 4y + z = 3
B) x − 2y − 3z = 4
C) x + y − z = −1
Multiplying B & C by -1 </span> <span>B) -x + 2y + 3z = -4
C) -x - y + z = +1 Then adding to A </span><span>A) 2x + 4y + z = 3 5y + 5z = 0 So basically z = -y
</span><span>A) 2x + 4y -y = 3
B) x − 2y + 3y = 4
C) x + y +y = −1 </span><span> A) 2x + 3y = 3</span>
Multiplyig B by -2 B) -2x -2y= -8 <span>C) x + 2y = −1 Adding B&C -x = -9 x = 9
</span> A) 2*9 + 4y + z = 3 A) 4y + z = -15 B) 9 − 2y − 3z = 4 <span>B) − 2y − 3z = -5
</span>A) 4y + z = -15 B) − 2y − 3z = -5 Multiplying A by 3 A) 12y + 3z = -45 B) − 2y − 3z = -5 Then adding A & B 10y = -50 y = -5
Make two equations from the information. Then graph them and see where they intersect. The answer is 62 miles. Plug 62 back into both equations and they should both be the same number.
