2x y z 2 3x 2y 3z 24 7x 4y z 20Solution2x y z 2 3x
2x + y z = 2
3x + 2y + 3z = 24
7x + 4y + z = 20
Solution
2x + y z = 2
3x + 2y + 3z = 24
7x + 4y + z = 20
Solve by elimination:
Step 1: Multiply first equation by 3/2 and add the result to the second equation. The result is:
2x + y z = 2
y/2 + 9z/2 = 27
7x + 4y + z = 20
Step 2: Multiply first equation by 7/2 and add the result to the third equation. The result is:
2x + y z = 2
y/2 + 9z/2 = 27
y/2 + 9z/2 = 27
The last two equations are same so infinte solution
Let z = t :
y = 54 -9t
x = -2 -y +z = -2 -(54 -9t) +t = -2 -54 +9t +t = -58 +10t
Solution : x = -58 +10t ,y= 54-9t , z = t where t is any constant
