Question

X+2y+3z=31 Solve for the variables.

Answer 1

Answer:

• x = 31 - 2y - 3z
• y = (31 - x - 3z)/2
• z = (31 -x -2y)/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract the terms not containing the variable of interest, then divide by the coefficient of the variable.

  x = 31 -2y -3z . . . . . the coefficient of x is 1, so we're done

__

  2y = 31 -x -3z

  y = (31 -x -3z)/2

__

  3z = 31 -x -2y

  z = (31 -x -2y)/3
