Answer:
z = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equations are
x - 2y - z = 2
x + 3y - 2z = 4
-x + 2y + 3z = 2
from the given equations the augmented matrix can be written as
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&-2&-1:2\\1&3&-2:4\\-1&2&3:2\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D1%26-2%26-1%3A2%5C%5C1%263%26-2%3A4%5C%5C-1%262%263%3A2%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)

So, from the above augmented matrix, we can write
z = 2
Solve simultaneously.
4x - y = 8
6x + y = 2
Multiply top equation by 6, and bottom equation by 4, to eliminate x, so that we can find y.
~
24x - 6y = 48
24x - 4y = 8
Subtract top from bottom to form one equation.
~
-2y = 40
Therefore y is 20.
Put y back in to an equation, such as 4x - y = 8.
~
4x - 20 = 8
4x = 28
x = 7
The answer is A because the two points have the same value. Then it would not pass the state of the line test. your answer is A
I'll go with A and B
Hope this helps
B I really believe you just got to read it carefully
