Solve the system using substitution.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Maru [420]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Given: The following system:

4x + y − 2z=18          ......[1]

2x-3y+3z = 21          ......[2]

x-3y=6                      ......[3]

we can write equation [3] as;

3y = x-6                     ......[4]

Multiply by 3 in equation [1] to both sides of an equation we get,

3 \cdot(4x+y-2z)= 3\cdot 18 or

12x+3y-6z=54              ......[5]

Substituting the equation [4] in [2] and [5] we get;

2x-(x-6)+3z=21 or

2x-x+6+3z=21

Simplify:

x+3z=15            .....[6]                       [combine like terms]

12x+x-6-6z =54

Simplify:

13x-6z=60         ......[7]        [Combine like terms]

On Solving equation [6] and [7] simultaneously,

x+3z=15

13x-6z=60

we get the value of x

i.e, x=6

Substitute the value of x in equation x+3z=15  we get

6+3z=15 or

3z=9

Simplify:

z=3

Also, substitute the value of x=6 in equation [3] we get the value of y;

x-3y=6

6-3y=6 or

-3y = 0

Simplify:

y = 0

Therefore, the solution to the system of three linear equation is, (6, 0 , 3)

Vlad [161]
The concept that can be used in order to answer this item is that of ratio and proportion. The ratio of the man's height and the length of his shadow should be proportional or equal to the ratio of the tower height and length of its shadow. If we let x be the height of the tower, the equation that would help us solve this item is,
             
                        2 / x = 0.5 / 13.5
The value of x is equal to 54. Thus, the tower's height is approximately 54 meters.
