Answer:
(x, y, z) = (-1, 0, -3)
Step-by-step explanation:
We notice that the coefficients of z are such that elimination of the z term from the equations is made easy.
Adding equations 1 and 2:
(2x -3y -2z) +(x +3y +2z) = (4) +(-7)
3x = -3
x = -1
Adding equations 2 and 3:
(x +3y +2z) +(-4x -4y -2z) = (-7) +(10)
-3x -y = 3
Substituting for x, we get ...
(-3)(-1) -y = 3
0 = y . . . . . . . . . . . add y-3 to both sides
Then z can be found from any equation. Substituting for x and y in the second equation gives ...
-1 +2z = -7
2z = -6 . . . . . add 1
z = -3 . . . . . .divide by 2
The solution is (x, y, z) = (-1, 0, -3).
4/7 is the simplest form
You can divide 20 by 5 and get 4 and divide 35 by 5 and get 7
Answer:
x=-2
Step-by-step explanation:
4+8x=-12
-4 -4
8x = -16
/8 /8
x = -2
He should take them out at 9:20.
Hope this helps!
