So

-4x-5y-z=18
-2x-5y-2z=12
-2x+5y+2z=4

the 2 last equations look perfect for canceling each other so add them together

-2x-5y-2z=12
<u>-2x+5y+2z=4 +</u>
<u />-4x+0y+0z=16
-4x=16
divide both sides by 4
-x=4
multiply -1
x=-4

now we have
-4x-5y-z=18
-2x+5y+2z=4
add them together
-6x+0y+z=22
but x=-4 so
-6(-4)+z=22
24+z=22
subtract 24 from both sides
z =-2

subsitute into any equation
-2x-5y-2z=12

x=-4
z=-2
-2(-4)-5y-2(-2)=12
8-5y+4=12
12-5y=12
subtract 12 from both sides
-5y=0
y=0


x=-4
y=0
z=-2

-4x - 5y - 1z = 18 ⇒ -4x - 5y - 1z = 18
-2x - 5y - 2z = 12 ⇒ <u>-2x - 5y - 2z = 12</u>

What is the greatest common factor??
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

3 is the only option that goes into 39 and 6. If you have 2x's in the first set and 4 in the second, you can't take out 4 if you only have 2 in the first set. Same goes for the Y's. If you have 2 y's and try to take out 3. It won't work. So, your GCF is option D.
