Answer:
(x,y,z) -> (2,4,1)
Step-by-step explanation:
-7x + y + z = -9
-7x + 5y - 9z = -3
7x - 6y + 4z = -6
Pick two pairs:
-7x + 5y - 9z = -3
7x - 6y + 4z = -6
and
-7x + y + z = -9
-7x + 5y - 9z = -3
Eliminate the same variable from each system:
-7x + 5y - 9z = -3
7x - 6y + 4z = -6
+ 5y - 9z = -3
- 6y + 4z = -6
<u><em>-1y - 5z = - 9</em></u>
-7x + y + z = -9
-7x + 5y - 9z = -3
-7x + y + z = -9
7x - 5y + 9z = 3
<u><em>-4y - 10z = -6</em></u>
Solve the system of the two new equations:
-1y - 5z = - 9 -> -4 ( -1y - 5z = - 9) -> 4y + 20z = 36
-4y - 10z = -6 -> -4y - 10z = -6 -> -4y - 10z = -6
10z = 30
Thus, z = 3
-4y - 10z = -6
-4y - 10(3) = -6
-4y - 30 = -6
-4y = 24
Thus, y = -6
Substitute into one of the original equations:
-7x + y + z = -9
-7x + (-6) + (3) = -9
7x + -3 = -9
7x = -6
x =
Answer:
I would go with the first one.
Step-by-step explanation:
The first one is the only one that increases by the same number. In other words, its slope is constant. A linear function has a constant slope. You can tell that it increases by 1/2 every time.
6x - 10(x + 12) = -4x - 24
<em><u>Distributive property.</u></em>
6x - 10x - 120 = -4x - 24
<em><u>Add 10x to both sides.</u></em>
6x - 120 = 6x - 24
<em><u>Cancel like terms.</u></em>
<em>Add 24 to both sides.</em>
-96 ≠ 0.
This equation is incorrect, as -96 will never be equal to 0.
