!SUBSTITUTION METHOD!6y - 5z = -8 3z = -6 4x - 3y - 2z= 21​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 2

y = - 3

z = - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

6y - 5z = -8 .......... Equation 1

3z = -6 ................... Equation 2

4x - 3y - 2z= 21...... Equation 3

First solve for z in Equation 2

That's

3z = - 6

Divide both sides by 3

z = - 2

Next substitute the value of z into Equation 1 in order to find y

We have

6y - 5(-2) = - 8

6y + 10 = - 8

6y = - 8 - 10

6y = - 18

Divide both sides by 6

y = - 3

Finally substitute the values of y and z into Equation 3 to find the value of x

That's

4x - 3(-3) - 2(-2) = 21

4x + 9 + 4 = 21

4x + 13 = 21

4x = 21 - 13

4x = 8

Divide both sides by 4

x = 2

So the solutions are

x = 2

y = - 3

z = - 2

Hope this helps you
