Answer:

a = 3, b = -1, c = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the three numbers be a, b and c.

Equation 1: a + b + c = 12

Equation 2: a + 2b + 3c = 31

Equation 3: 9b + c = 1

Equation 2 - Equation 1:

Equation 4: b + 2c = 19

Equation 3 times by the number 2

Equation 5: 18b + 2c = 2

Equation 5 - Equation 4

17b = -17

b = -1

Substitute into Equation 4:

2c - 1 = 19

2c = 20

c = 10

Substitute into Equation 1:

a + b + c = 12

a - 1 + 10 = 12

a = 3

Answer:

3,-1,10

Step-by-step explanation:

let the numbers be x,y,z.

x+y+z=12

x+2y+3z=31

z+9y=1

z=1-9y

subtract 1st from 2nd

y+2z=19

y+2(1-9y)=19

y+2-18y=19

-17 y=17

y=-1

z=1-9(-1)=1+9=10

x-1+10=12

x=12+1-10=3

Solve this system of equations by using the elimination method -2x-2y=-6, 3x+4y=8
adoni [48]

Step-by-step explanation:

- 2x-2y=-6

3x+4y=8

multiply equation (1) by 3 and equation (2) by 2

- 6x-6y=18

6x+8y=16

Add

2y=34

y= 34÷2

y=17

substitute 17 for y in equation (2)

3x+4y=8

3x+4(17)=8

3x+68=8

3x=8-68

3x=-60

x=-60÷3

x=-20

x=-20,y=17

Solve: -4x-8x+17=23<br> check solution
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

x = -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the equation, we first need to combine like terms:

-12x+17=23

Simplify further:

-12x=6

Divide by -12 on both sides to get:

x = -\frac{1}{2}

To check  the solution, plug x back into the original equation and check if we get the correct answer:

-4(-\frac{1}{2})-8(-\frac{1}{2})+17=23

2+4+17= 23

23=23

Thus, it checks out and our answer is correct.
