<h2>Answer:</h2>

The new volume that the gas occupy is:

                       20 cubic meters

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

Boyle’s law states that the volume of a gas varies inversely with applied pressure.

This means that there exist a constant k such that:

v=\dfrac{k}{p}\\\\i.e.\\\\pv=k

where v is the volume of the gas and is the pressure applied.

This means that if firstly the volume and pressure exerted are:

v_1\ and\ p_1 respectively.

and afterwards the pressure applied and the volume of the gas is:

p_2\ and\ v_2 respectively.

Then by the inverse relation we have:

p_1v_1=k\\\\and\\\\p_2v_2=k\\\\i.e.\\\\p_1v_1=p_2v_2

From the data in the question we have:

v_1=60\ m^3\ ,\ p_1=1\ atm\ ,\p_2=3\ atm

Hence, we have from equation (1)

1\times 60=3\times v_2\\\\i.e.\\\\60=3v_2\\\\i.e.\\\\v_2=\dfrac{60}{3}\\\\i.e.\\\\v_2=20\ m^3

Q1. The answer is x = 1, y = 1, z = 0

<span>(i) -2x+2y+3z=0
</span><span>(ii) -2x-y+z=-3 
</span>(iii) <span>2x+3y+3z=5
</span><span>_________
Sum up the first and the third equation:
</span>(i) -2x+2y+3z=0
(iii) 2x+3y+3z=5
_________
5y + 6z = 5

Sum up the second and the third equation:
(ii) -2x-y+z=-3 
(iii) 2x+3y+3z=5
_________
2y + 4z = 2


(iv) 5y + 6z = 5
(v) 2y + 4z = 2
________
Divide the fifth equation by 2
(iv) 5y + 6z = 5
(v) y + 2z = 1
________
Multiple the second equation by -3 and sum the equation
(iv) 5y + 6z = 5
(v) -3y - 6z = -3
________
2y = 2
y = 2/2 = 1


y + 2z = 1
1 + 2z = 1
2z = 1 - 1
2z = 0
z = 0


-2x-y+z=-3
-2x - 1 + 0 = -3
-2x = -3 + 1
-2x = -2
x = -2/-2 = 1



Q2. The answer is x = -37, y = -84, z = -35

<span>(i) x-y-z=-8 
(ii) -4x+4y+5z=7 
(iii) 2x+2z=4
______
</span>Divide the third equation by 2 and rewrite z in the term of x:
(iii) x+z=2
z = 2 - x
______
Substitute z from the third equation and express y in the term of x:
<span>x-y-(2-x)=-8 
x - y - 2 + x = 8
2x - y = 10
y = 2x - 10
______
Substitute z from the third equation and y from the first equation into the second equation:
</span><span>-4x + 4y + 5z = 7 
-4x + 4(2x - 10) + 5(2 - x) = 7
-4x + 8x - 40 + 10 - 5x = 7
-x -30 = 7
-x = 30 + 7
x = -37
y = 2x - 10 = 2*(-37) - 10 = -74 - 10 = -84
z = 2 - x = 2 - 37 = -35</span>
