Question

Solve system of equations 2x + 2y + 5z = 7 6x + 8y + 5z = 9 2x + 3y + 5z = 6

Answer 1

Answer:

the values of x, y and z are x= 2, y =-1 and z=1

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve the following system of equations.

We will use elimination method to solve these equations and find the values of x, y and z.

2x + 2y + 5z = 7     eq(1)

6x + 8y + 5z = 9     eq(2)

2x + 3y + 5z = 6     eq(3)

Subtracting eq(1) and eq(3)

2x + 2y + 5z = 7

2x + 3y + 5z = 6

-    -       -        -

_____________

0 -y + 0 = 1

-y = 1

=> y = -1

Subtracting eq(2) and eq(3)

6x + 8y + 5z = 9    

2x + 3y + 5z = 6    

-     -      -          -

______________

4x + 5y +0z = 3    

4x + 5y = 3      eq(4)

Putting value of y = -1 in equation 4

4x + 5y = 3

4x + 5(-1) = 3

4x -5 = 3

4x = 3+5

4x = 8

x= 8/4

x = 2

Putting value of x=2 and y=-1 in eq(1)

2x + 2y + 5z = 7

2(2) + 2(-1) + 5z = 7

4 -2 + 5z = 7

2 + 5z = 7

5z = 7 -2

5z = 5

z = 5/5

z = 1

So, the values of x, y and z are x= 2, y =-1 and z=1
