Question

Use row operations to solve the system.

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 2, y = 7, z = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y - z = -3 (1)

3x - y + z = 11 (2)

x - 4y + z = -14 (3)

add (1) and (2)

4x = 8 x = 2

add (1) and (3)

2x - 3y = -17

2(2) - 3y = -17

-3y = -17 - 4

-3y = -21

y = 7

Find z using any equation

x + y - z = -3

2 + 7 - z = -3

9 - z = -3

z = 12
