solve the linear system of equations 3x 2y z 4 x 2y 3z
Solution
Here we first add first and third equation each side, so that x terms are deleted and we get
-2y+y-z-z= -4+14
or -y - 2z = 10
or y= -10-2z .............(iv)
Now we multiply second equation each side by 3 and subtract third equation from it as :
3(-x+2y-3z) - (-3x+y-z)= 18-14
or -3x+6y-9z +3x-y+z = 4
or 5y -8z = 4
or 5(-10-2z) -8z =4 (by (iv) equation)
or -50-10z -8z = 4
or -18z = 4- 50 = 4+50=54
z= - 54/18 = -3
so from (iv) equation
y= -10- 2z = -10 -2(-3) = -10+6= -4
and from first equation
3x-2(-4)-(-3) = -4
or 3x +8+3 = -4
or 3x = -4 -11 = -15
or x = -15/3= -5
so last answer is x= -5, y= -4 and z = -3
This is the answer of very first question.
