Question

3x - 2y + 3z = -20 4x - 3y - 2z = 7 -5x + 5y + z = 9

Answer 1

Answer:

x= 4 y= 7 z= -6

Step-by-step explanation:

solve for one and you get them all

First, I got rid of the z by multiplying common factors (multiplied z by 2) and added equations 2 and 3 together after multiplying by 2

4x - 3y - 2z = 7

-10x+10y+2z= 18

-6x+7y= 25

Then multiplied z by -3 (to get rid of the z) with the original equation 3

3x - 2y + 3z = -20

15x-15y-3z= -27

18x-17y= -47

Next find common thing between the 2 equations we got and multiply it by that and combine (we can multiply first equation by 3 to get rid of the x and solve for y)

-18x+21y= 75

18x-17y= -47

y=7

Work backwards, substitute 7 into the above equation, you get x= 4 and then same for z to get z= -6
