Question

X+y+z=2 X-y-z=2 x-y+z=-6

Answer 1

The first one:

solve for x.

Step 1: Add -y to both sides.

x+y+z+−y=2+−y

x+z=−y+2

Step 2: Add -z to both sides.

x+z+−z=−y+2+−z

x=−y−z+2

solve for y.

Step 1: Add -x to both sides.

x+y+z+−x=2+−x

y+z=−x+2

Step 2: Add -z to both sides.

y+z+−z=−x+2+−z

y=−x−z+2

solve for z.

Step 1: Add -x to both sides.

x+y+z+−x=2+−x

y+z=−x+2

Step 2: Add -y to both sides.

y+z+−y=−x+2+−y

z=−x−y+2

The second one:

solve for x.

Step 1: Add y to both sides.

x−y−z+y=2+y

x−z=y+2

Step 2: Add z to both sides.

x−z+z=y+2+z

x=y+z+2

solve for y.

Step 1: Add -x to both sides.

x−y−z+−x=2+−x

−y−z=−x+2

Step 2: Add z to both sides.

−y−z+z=−x+2+z

−y=−x+z+2

Step 3: Divide both sides by -1.

−y /−1  = −x+z+2 /−1

y=x−z−2

solve for z.

Step 1: Add -x to both sides.

x−y−z+−x=2+−x

−y−z=−x+2

Step 2: Add y to both sides.

−y−z+y=−x+2+y

−z=−x+y+2

Step 3: Divide both sides by -1.

−z /−1  =  −x+y+2 /−1

z=x−y−2

The third one:

solve for x.

Step 1: Add y to both sides.

x−y+z+y=−6+y

x+z=y−6

Step 2: Add -z to both sides.

x+z+−z=y−6+−z

x=y−z−6

solve for y.

Step 1: Add -x to both sides.

x−y+z+−x=−6+−x

−y+z=−x−6

Step 2: Add -z to both sides.

−y+z+−z=−x−6+−z

−y=−x−z−6

Step 3: Divide both sides by -1.

−y /−1  =  −x−z−6 /−1

y=x+z+6

solve for z.

Step 1: Add -x to both sides.

x−y+z+−x=−6+−x

−y+z=−x−6

Step 2: Add y to both sides.

−y+z+y=−x−6+y

z=−x+y−6
