Answer:

6, 8, 10

Step-by-step explanation:

x, y, z

y=x+2, z= x+4

  • y²- 2= 2x+5z
  • (x+2)²- 2= 2x+ 5(x+4)
  • x²+4x+4-2= 2x+5x+20
  • x²-3x-18=0

Solving the quadratic equation we get:

  • x=6, then y= 8, z= 10
  • x= -3 discarded as odd number

Answer:

6, 8, 10

Step-by-step explanation:

x y and z are three consecutive even numbers

it means that you can write y = x + 2

and z = y + 2 = x + 4

so

  y^2-2=2x+5z\\  (x+2)^2-2=2x+5(x+4)\\x^2+4x+4-2=2x+5x+20

  x^2+4x+2=7x+20\\x^2+4x+2-7x-20=0\\x^2-3x-18=0\\(x+3)(x-6)=0(x=-3\ or \ x=6)

so the solutions are

x = 6

y = 8

x = 10

Solve the system of equations by finding the reduced row-echelon form of the augmented matrix for the system of equations.
ycow [4]

This  involves quite a lot of arithmetic to do manually.

The first thing you do is to make the first number in  row 2  = to 0.

This is done by R2 = -3/2 R1 + R2

so the matrix becomes

( 2        1          1)    ( -3 )

( 0    -13/2   3/2)   (1/2 )

(5       -1           2)  (-2)

Next step is to make  the 5 in row 5  = 0  

then  the -1  must become zero

You aim  for the form

( 1 0 0) (x)

(0 1 0) (y)

(0 0 1) ( z)

x , y and z will be the required solutions.
