Answer:
B) x = 2, y = 3 and z = 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
3x −2y + 4z = 20 .....A
-x + 5y+ 12z = 73 .....B
x + 3y −2z = 1 ......C
Adding B and C:
8y + 10z = 74 .... E
Multiply equation B by -3:
-3x - 9y + 6z = -3
Add this equation to A:
-11y + 10z = 17
Subtract this equation fro E:
19y = 57
y = 3.
Substitute y = 3 in equation E:
8*3 + 10z = 74
10z = 50
z = 5.
Finally substitute y = 3 and z = 5 into equation C:
x + 3(3) - 2(5) = 1
x + 9 - 10 = 1
x = 1 + 1
x = 2.
M= 4
Hope that helps have a great day!
Answer:
I am pretty sure its the 3rd one but I am not 100% sure. Sorry!
Actually, this answer would be true. Why?
The first equation is: a(sub <em>n</em>) = 8, 13, 18, 23
The second is: a(sub 1)=8 ; a(sub <em>n</em>)= a(sub <em>n</em>-1)+5
if you wish to find the second term, plug two into the equation for <em /><em>n</em>
8+5=13
to find the third, plug the second term, 13, in for <em>n.</em>
13+5=18.
Hope this helped! I know it's a bit on the late side, but at least you can get the general idea!
