Answer:

x = -3 , y = 4 , z = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following system:

{x - 3 y + z = -15

2 x + y - z = -2

x + y + 2 z = 1

Hint: | Choose an equation and a variable to solve for.

In the first equation, look to solve for z:

{x - 3 y + z = -15

2 x + y - z = -2

x + y + 2 z = 1

Hint: | Solve for z.

Subtract x - 3 y from both sides:

{z = 3 y + (-x - 15)

2 x + y - z = -2

x + y + 2 z = 1

Hint: | Perform a substitution.

Substitute z = -15 - x + 3 y into the second and third equations:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

15 + 3 x - 2 y = -2

x + y + 2 (-15 - x + 3 y) = 1

Hint: | Expand the left hand side of the equation x + y + 2 (-15 - x + 3 y) = 1.

x + y + 2 (-15 - x + 3 y) = x + y + (-30 - 2 x + 6 y) = -30 - x + 7 y:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

15 + 3 x - 2 y = -2

-30 - x + 7 y = 1

Hint: | Choose an equation and a variable to solve for.

In the second equation, look to solve for x:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

15 + 3 x - 2 y = -2

-30 - x + 7 y = 1

Hint: | Isolate terms with x to the left hand side.

Subtract 15 - 2 y from both sides:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

3 x = 2 y - 17

-30 - x + 7 y = 1

Hint: | Solve for x.

Divide both sides by 3:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

x = (2 y)/3 - 17/3

-30 - x + 7 y = 1

Hint: | Perform a substitution.

Substitute x = (2 y)/3 - 17/3 into the third equation:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

x = (2 y)/3 - 17/3

(19 y)/3 - 73/3 = 1

Hint: | Choose an equation and a variable to solve for.

In the third equation, look to solve for y:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

x = (2 y)/3 - 17/3

(19 y)/3 - 73/3 = 1

Hint: | Isolate terms with y to the left hand side.

Add 73/3 to both sides:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

x = (2 y)/3 - 17/3

(19 y)/3 = 76/3

Hint: | Solve for y.

Multiply both sides by 3/19:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

x = (2 y)/3 - 17/3

y = 4

Hint: | Perform a back substitution.

Substitute y = 4 into the first and second equations:

{z = -x - 3

x = -3

y = 4

Hint: | Perform a back substitution.

Substitute x = -3 into the first equation:

{z = 0

x = -3

y = 4

Hint: | Sort results.

Collect results in alphabetical order:

Answer: {x = -3 , y = 4 , z = 0
