Answer:

(x, y, z) = (-3, -1, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Many graphing calculators can solve matrix equations handily. Here, we use a combination of methods.

Use the last equation to write an expression for z.

z = 4 -x +4y

Substitute this into the second equation:

y -4(4 -x +4y) = -13

y -16 +4x -16y = -13

4x -15y -3 = 0

In genera form, the first equation can be written as ...

3x +y +10 = 0

Now, the solution to these two equations can be found to be ...

x = (-15(10) -1(-3))/(4(1) -3(-15)) = (-150 +3)/(4+45) = -3 . . . using "Cramer's rule"

y = -(10 +3x) = -(10 -9) = -1 . . . . from the first equation

z = 4 -(-3) +4(-1) = 3 . . . . . . . . from our equation for z

The solution to the system is (x, y, z) = (-3, -1, 3).

One of our brainliest, Konrad509, made this:

Reil [10]

$\dfrac{B_x \sqrt{74_x}}{1D_x}+J_x51_x=4G3_x$

A=10, B=11, C=12, etc.

$\dfrac{11\cdot x^0\cdot \sqrt{7\cdot x^1+4\cdot x^0}}{1\cdot x^1+13\cdot x^0}+19\cdot x^0\cdot (5\cdot x^1+1\cdot x^0)=4\cdot x^2+16\cdot x^1+3\cdot x^0\\\\\dfrac{11\sqrt{7x+4}}{x+13}+19(5x+1)=4x^2+16x+3\\\\\dfrac{11\sqrt{7x+4}}{x+13}+95x+19=4x^2+16x+3\\\\11\sqrt{7x+4}+95x(x+13)+19(x+13)=(4x^2+16x+3)(x+13)\\\\11\sqrt{7x+4}+95x^2+1235x+19x+247=4x^3+52x^2+16x^2+208x+3x+39\\\\11\sqrt{7x+4}=4x^3-27x^2-1043x-208\\\\121(7x+4)=(4x^3-27x^2-1043x-208)^2$

$121(7x+4)=(4x^3-27x^2-1043x-208)^2\\\\847x+484=16 x^6 - 216 x^5 - 7615 x^4 + 54658 x^3 + 1099081 x^2 + 433888 x + 43264\\\\16 x^6 - 216 x^5 - 7615 x^4 + 54658 x^3 + 1099081 x^2 + 433041 x +42780=0$

Now, the "only" thing that remains to do is solving the above equation.

While making this problem I only made sure it has a solution. I didn't try to solve it myself and I didn't know it will end up with such "convoluted" polynomial. Sorry to everyone who tried to solve it... m(_ _)m

I think the best way to approach it is using the rational root theorem since we know that $x\in\mathbb{N}$ . Moreover we can deduce that $x\geq19$ since there is $J$ and $J=19$ .
