A = -11
B= -12
This is because of how calculations work in negatives. Because they are both negative they work similarly to addition
Answer: The set does not have a solution
Step-by-step explanation:
Adding Equations 1 & 3 we get 5x = 7. This gives x = 7/5
Putting this value of x in eq. 2 we get
-2y + 2z = -1-(7/5) or
2y - 2z = 12/5 or 5y - 5z = 6
Multiplying eq. 1 by 2 we get
4x + 2y - 2z = 6
adding this with eq. 2 we get 5x = 5 or x = 1
As the common solution for x from equations 1&3 does not satisfy eq. 1&2 it comes out that the three equations do not have a common solution.
Same can be verified by using different sets of two equations also.

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
3(x - 2) + 8 = 2(x + 5)
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- (Parenthesis) Distribute: 3x - 6 + 8 = 2x + 10
- Combine like terms: 3x + 2 = 2x + 10
- {Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 2x on both sides: x + 2 = 10
- [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 2 on both sides: x = 8
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute in <em>x</em>: 3(8 - 2) + 8 = 2(8 + 5)
- (Parenthesis) Subtract/Add: 3(6) + 8 = 2(13)
- Multiply: 18 + 8 = 26
- Add: 26 = 26
Here we see that 26 does indeed equal 26.
∴ x = 8 is the solution to the equation.
67n - 58 = n - 36
hope this helps, have a great day!
D the argument is not valid because the conclusion does not follow from the premises
