The mistake was when she multiplied the 2nd equation by 5, she forgot to also multiply that last number 10 by 5 as well.

correction :
5x + 3y - z = 15
-x + 2y + 3z = 10...multiply by 5
---------------------
5x + 3y - z = 15
-5x + 10y + 15z = 50 (result of multiplying by 5)
--------------------add
13y + 14z = 65

I need help with this last question.
blondinia [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

length=1 m

base of triangle=10 m

height=5m

volume= 1/2×10×5×1=25 m cube.

slant height l=√(5²+5²)=√50=5√2

slant surface area=2[5√2×1]=10√2

area of front and back=2×1/2(10×5)=50

total surface area=50+10√2≈50+14.14≈64.14 m²
