Answer:

x = -2

y =4

z=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

4x−y−2z=−8

−2x+4z=−4

x+2y=6

Solve the second equation for x

x = 6 -2y

Substitute into the first two equations

4x−y−2z=−8

4(6-2y) -y -2 = 8  

24 -8y-y -2z = 8

-9y -2z = -32

−2(6-2y)+4z=−4

-12 +4y +4z = -4

4y+4z = 8

Divide by 4

y+z = 2

z =2-y

Substitute this into -9y -2z = -32

-9y -2(2-y) = -32

-9y -4 +2y = -32

-7y -4 = -32

-7y =-28

y =4

Now find z

z = 2-y

z = 2-4

z = -2

Now find x

x = 6 -2y

x = 6 -2(4)

x =6-8

x = -2

Answer:

(-2, 4, -2)

x=-2, y=4, z=-2.

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the three equations:

4x-y-2z=-8\\-2x+4z=-4\\x+2y=6

And we want to find the value of each variable.

To solve this system, first look at it and consider what you should try to do.

So we can see that the second and third equations both have an x.

Therefore, we can isolate the variables for the second and third equation and then substitute them into the first equation to make the first equation all xs.

Therefore, let's first isolate the variable in the second and third equation.

Second Equation:

-2x+4z=-4

First, divide everything by -2 to simplify things:

x-2z=2

Subtract x from both sides. The xs on the left cancel:

(x-2z)-x=2-x\\-2z=2-x

Now, divide everything by -2 to isolate the z:

z=-\frac{2-x}{2}

So we've isolated the z variable. Now, do the same to the y variable in the third equation:

x+2y=6

Subtract x from both sides:

2y=6-x

Divide both sides by 2:

y=\frac{6-x}{2}

Now that we've isolated the y and z variables, plug them back into the first equation. Therefore:

4x-y-2z=-8\\4x-(\frac{6-x}{2})-2(-\frac{2-x}{2})=-8

Distribute the third term. The -2s cancel out:

4x-(\frac{6-x}{2})+(2-x)=-8

Since there is still a fraction, multiply everything by 2 to remove it:

2(4x-(\frac{6-x}{2})+(2-x))=2(-8)

Distribute:

8x-(6-x)+2(2-x)=-16\\8x-6+x+4-2x=-16

Combine like terms:

8x+x-2x-6+4=-16\\7x-2=-16

Add 2 to both sides:

7x=-14

Divide both sides by 7:

(7x)/7=(-14)/7\\x=-2

Therefore, x is -2.

Now, plug this back into the second and third simplified equations to get the other values.

Second equation:

z=-\frac{2-x}{2}\\ z=-\frac{2-(-2)}{2}\\z=-\frac{4}{2}\\z=-2

Third equation:

y=\frac{6-x}{2}\\y=\frac{6-(-2)}{2}\\y=\frac{8}{2}\\y=4

Therefore, the solution is (-2, 4, -2)

PLEASE HELP<br><br> What is the value of x?
KonstantinChe [14]
Side JL is 4√2  recall that in a 30-60-90 right triangle the hypotenuse is 2 times the size of the short leg.

JL also serves as the hypotenuse of the 45-45-90 triangle JML.  The ratio of side lengths in this triangle is 1:1:√2

So we can see that the value of x = 4

Which expression has a value of 1/36?
Nataly [62]

Answer:

1/36) = 0.0277777777778

(1/108)^3 = 7.9383224102 x 10^-7

(1/9)^4 = 0.000152415790276

(1/6)^2 = 0.0277777777778

(1/2)^5 = 0.03125

The only one that matches with the value of 1/36 is (1/6)^2. Therefore, your answer is . (1/6)^2
