Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
4x + 2y + z = 24
2x - 3y - z = 2
5x + y + 2z = 21
-----------------
Eliminate z
Add the 1st and 2nd eqn
4x + 2y + z = 24
2x - 3y - z = 2
----------------
6x - 1y = 26 eqn A
Multiply the 2nd eqn by 2, then add the 3rd.
4x - 6y -2z = 4
5x + y + 2z = 21
----------------
9x - 5y = 25 eqn B
---------------
Now you have 2 eqns in 2 unknowns, not 3.
Multiply eqn A by 5 and subtract eqn B.
30x - 5y = 130 eqn A times 5
9x - 5y = 25 eqn B
-------------
21x = 105
x = 5
Answer:
1
Step-by-step explanation:
5x2 is 10 subtract that and add it to 6 which gives you -4 then you do -4/-4 which is 1
