X-y+z=-7 x+y+z=1 x+y-z=9 How would you solve this equation?

1 answer:

3 0

X - y + z = -7
x + y + z = 1
-------------------add
2x + 2z = -6

x + y + z = 1
x + y - z = 9....multiply by -1
-------------------
x + y + z = 1
-x - y + z = -9 (result of multiplying by -1)
------------------add
2z = -8
z = -8/2
z = -4

2x + 2z = -6
2x + 2(-4) = -6
2x - 8 = -6
2x = -6 + 8
2x = 2
x = 1

x - y + z = -7
1 - y - 4 = -7
-y -3 = -7
-y = -7 + 3
-y = -4
y = 4

so x = 1, y = 4, and z = -4

he triangle on the grid will be translated two units down. On a coordinate plane, triangle A B C has points (2, 1), (0, negative

Sladkaya [172]

If these coordinates are translated two units down, we will subtract 2 units from the y axis to have A(2, -1), B(0, -3) and C(2, -3)

<h3>Translation of coordinate point</h3>

Translation is a transformation technique of changing the position of an object on the xy-plane.

Given the following coordinate of a triangle expressed as:

A(2, 1)

B(0, -1)

C(2, -1)

If these coordinates are translated two units down, we will subtract 2 units from the y axis to have:

A(2, -1)
