In my opinion the best way to solve these equations are elimination, therefore I will be giving my answer in this way!
2x-y+8z=13 1️⃣
3x+4y+52=182️⃣
5x-2y-72=203️⃣
We first combine liked terms in equation 2 and 3.
2️⃣turns into 3x+4y=-34 let's call it 2️⃣'
3️⃣turns into 5x-2y=92 let's call it 3️⃣'
Then solve for x
3️⃣'*2
10x-4y=184
3️⃣+2️⃣
13x=150
x=150/13
Now substitute the x back into equation 2️⃣'
3*150/13+4y=-34
450/13+4y=-442/13
4y=-892/13
2y=-446/13
y=-223/13
Now we can substitute this back into 1️⃣ to solve for z
2*150/13- - 223/13+8z=169/13
523/13+8z=169/13
8z=-354/13
4z=-177/13
z=-177/52
This problem is kind of messy so let me restate my answer!
x=150/13
y=-223/13
z=-177/52
