Answer:
-2
Explanation:
f = -19.8
17.8 + -19.8 (f) = -2
Combine the 2nd and 3rd equations. 3x will disappear:
2y + 5z = 7 This is true for any y and z, and is independent of x.
7-5z
Solving for y, 2y = 7 - 5z, so that y = ---------
2
We have to eliminate x again by using the 1st and 2nd equations:
-2x - 6y - 2z = -2. We want the coeff. of x in the first eqn to be -3.
Therefore, mult. all terms of -2x - 6y - 2z = -2 by 3/2:
(3/2)(-2x - 6y - 2z = -2) = -3x -9y -3z =-3
Now add this version of the 1st row to the 2nd row:
-3x -9y -3z =-3
3x +2y +5z = 7
----------------------
-7y + 2z = 4
7 - 5z
We found earlier that y = ----------, and can elim. y by subst. this fraction into
2
-7y + 2z = 4. Then -7y + 2z = 4 becomes -7( (7-5z)/2 ) + 2Z = 4.
Elim. the fraction by mult. all terms by 2:
-7(7-5z) + 4z = 8 which becomes -49 + 35z + 4z = 8
so that 39z = 57, and so z = 57/39.
Subst. this back into -7y + 2z = 4 to calculate y. Make a final subst. to calculate x.
Given the choice, I would solve this system using matrices.
Turns out that the solution, using matrices, does not exist.
The answer that you have derived is incorrect. Here is the correct way to solve it:
We multiply -2 to both sides, which changes the signs.
Therefore, the answer to your query is
x > 2. Hope this helps and have a fantastic day!
