Solve the system by elimination 1: x+5y-4z=-10, 2x-y+5z=-9, 2x-10y-5z=0 .. . 2. Solve the system by substitution: 2x-y+z=-4, z=5

, -2x+3y-z=-10. . . 3. A food store makes a 11–pound mixture of peanuts, almonds, and raisins. The cost of peanuts is $1.50 per pound, almonds cost $3.00 per pound, and raisins cost $1.50 per pound. The mixture calls for twice as many peanuts as almonds. The total cost of the mixture is $21.00. How much of each ingredient did the store use?

1 )
1st and 2nd equation (multiply 1st by -2 ):
-2x - 10 y + 8 z = 20
2 x -  y    + 5 z = -9
---------------------------
       - 11 y + 13 z = 11  /  * ( -20 )
1st and 3rd:
- 2 x - 10 y + 8 z = 20
   2 x - 10 y - 5 z = 0
-----------------------------
         - 20 x + 3 z = 20  /  * 11
        ----------------------------------
         220 y - 260 z = -220
        - 220 y + 33 z = 220
        ------------------------------
                       z = 0,      y = -1,        x = - 5
2 )  
       2 x - y + 5 = -4
       - 2 x + 3 y - 5 = - 10
       Substitution: y = 2 x + 9
       - 2 x + 3(2 x + 9 ) = -5
        4 x = - 32,          x = -8,    y = -7,   z = 5
3 )
      x + y + z = 11
   1.5 x+3 y +1.5 z = 21
      x = 2 y
   ------------------------
      3 y + z = 11  / * (-2)
      6 y + 1.5 z = 21
    ------------------------
     - 6 y - 2 z = -22
       6 y + 1.5 z = 21
      ------------------------
                 -0.5 z = -1,           z = 2,   y = 3,   z = 6
Answer: the store used 6 pounds of peanuts, 3 pounds of almonds and 2 pounds of raisins.

With graphs on paper you can visually see intersecting lines(one solution), identical lines
(infinite solutions), or parallel lines(no solutions).
This method works best for lines that have integers for solutions. The task of determining rational or irrational solutions from graphs is difficult.

The substitution method usually must be used for equations with higher exponents. The deawback of this method is having to work with fractions.

The elimination method is often the method of choice.
This method however requires that you learn to recognize when the systems produce parallel lines or have equations that represent the same lines.
