Step-by-step explanation:
step 1. 2x + 3.79 = 17.29. this is the answer.
There are going to be 10 cupcakes left,hope I helped (:
2x - 4y + 1z = 11 ⇒ 2x - 4y + 1z = 11
1x + 2y + 3z = 9 ⇒ <u>1x + 2y + 3z = 9</u>
3x + 5z = 12 1x - 2y - 2z = 2
1x - 2y - 2z = 2
2x - 4y + 1z = 11 <u>-2x + 2y - 2z = -3</u>
1x + 2y + 3z = 9 ⇒ 1x + 2y + 3z = 9 x - 4z = 1
3x + 5z = 12 ⇒ <u>3x + 5z = 12</u> x - 4z + 4z = 1 + 4z
-2x + 2y - 2z = -3 x = 1 + 4z
<u /> 1 + 4z - 2y - 2z = 2<u />
1 - 2y + 4z - 2z = 2
1 - 2y + 2z = 2
<u>- 1 - 1</u>
-2y + 2z = 1
-2y + 2z - 2z = 1 - 2z
<u>-2y</u> = <u>1 - 2z</u>
-2 -2
y = -0.5 + z
x + 2(-0.5 + z) - 2z = 2
x - 1 + z - 2z + 2 = 2
x - 1 + z = 2
<u> + 1 + 1</u>
x + z = 3
x - x + z = 3 - x
z = 3 - x
