Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The system of equations given are:
5x - y + z = -6 ------------- i
2x + 7y + 3z = 8 ---------- ii
x + 2z = 6 ----------------- iii
Let us deal with equation i and ii first since they have 3 variables x, y and z;
5x - y + z = -6 x 7
2x + 7y + 3z = 8 x 1
35x - 7y + 7z = -42 ---- iv
2x + 7y + 3z = 8 ---- v
Add equation iv and v;
37x + 10z = -34 ------vi
So, let us solve equation vi and iii:
x + 2z = 6 - ---------- iii x 10
37x + 10z = -34 --- iv x 2
10x + 20z = 60 vi
74x + 20z = -68 vii
Subtract vi - vii;
-64x = 128
x = -2
So; put x = -2 into iii;
x + 2z = 6
-2 + 2z = 6
2z = 6 + 2 = 8
z = 4
Put x = -2 and z = 4 into equation i;
5(-2) - y + 4 = - 6
-10 -y +4 = -6
-6 - y = -6
-y = 0
y = 0
Answer: X=2 and y=3
Step-by-step explanation: 2x2=4 and 3x3=9 and 9+4=13
1. A. parallel, because when you get y by itself it is y=-2x+7, the two equations have the same slope which means they are parallel.
2. B. sometimes, in order for two lines to be parallel they have to have the same slope so, it is possible that two lines say with a slope of 3, those would be parallel BUT it doesn't always have to have a positive slope for it to be parallel like in question 1.
3. C. never, If they have the same slope they are parallel despite whatever the y-intercept is.
