Answer:
Z = - 2, Y = 0, X = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
2X – Y + Z = – 2
6X + 3Y – 4Z = 8
– 3X + 2Y +3Z = – 6
isolate "X" in the first equation
2X - Y + Z = - 2 => isolate "2X"
2X = - 2 - Z + Y => divide either side by 2
X = - 1 - Z/2 + Y/2
substitute this value of X in the second two equations (applying the substitution method here)
6(- 1 - Z/2 + Y/2) + 3Y - 4Z = 8,
6Y - 7Z - 6 = 8
- 3(- 1 - Z/2 + Y/2) + 2Y +3Z = - 6,
Y + 9Z + 6/2 = - 6
isolate Y in the second equation (6Y - 7Z - 6 = 8) and substitute in the third equation (Y + 9Z + 6/2 = - 6)
6Y - 7Z - 6 = 8 => isolate 6Y
6Y = 14 + 7Z => divide either side by 6
Y = 7Z + 14/6 => substitute in second equation
7Z + 14/6 + 9Z + 6/2 = - 6 => solve for Z
61Z + 50/12 = - 6, Z = - 2
substitute the value of Z into the equations "Y = 7Z + 14/6" and using the value of Y and Z, substitute into "X = - 1 - Z/2 + Y/2"
Y = (7(- 2) + 14)/6 = 0 / 6
= 0
X = - 1 - (- 2)/2 + 0/2 = - 1 - (-1) + 0
= - 1 + 1 + 0 = 0
