Solve the equation

Question

x-2y+3z+16 4x+y+3x=19 2x+3y=-1?

Answer 1

Let assume that the system of equations are

.

First solve the system of two equation 2 : 7x + y = 19 and equation 3 : 2x + 3y = - 1 with two variables.

Neither variable has a common coefficient in equation 2 and 3. The coefficient  of the y - variables are 1 and 3 and their least common multiple is 3, so multiply each equation by the value  that will make the y - coefficient 3.

To get two equations 2 and 3 that contain opposite terms multiply the second equation by negative 3.

Write the equations in column form and add the corresponding columns to eliminate y - variable.

.

The resultant equation is .

Use one of the equation with two variables (Equation: 2 or 3) to solve for y.

The second equation: .

.

Solve for z using one of the original equations with three variables.

The first equation: .
