Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the equation x + y = z relates the whole numbers x, y, and z.
This implies x,y,z all three are whole numbers
Hence we get x+y =z
x = z-y
where y is a whole number
So y can be 0,1,2.....
From this we can say x can take at most the value z in case y =0 other wise x has to be less than z
So comparison of x,y,z would give
( the equality applying only when y =0)
(5, -2, -3)
<h3>Explanation:</h3>We assume your equations are ...
These have solution (x, y, z) = (5, -2, -3).

<em>How we know</em>
Trying the choices in the last equation eliminates the first and last. Trying the second choice in the first equation eliminates it, leaving the 3rd choice as the answer you're looking for.
We also know because we can ask a graphing calculator to solve the matrix equation (or row-reduce the augmented matrix).
<em>Comment on this problem</em>
The hardest part of this problem is figuring your intent. The equations are not well-separated, so we have a hard time telling what is a constant and what is a coefficient. It took a couple of guesses to sort it out. A little editing before posting would be helpful.
