Answer:
x = 1 y = 3 z = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
(1) x - 3y - z = -9 (2) -2x + y + 2z = 3 (3) 2x + y + 3z = 8
2x(1) 2x - 6y - 2z = -18 (2) -2x + y + 2z = 3
- 5y = -15 2y + 5z = 11
y = 3 2(3) + 5z = 11
6 + 5z = 11
5z = 5
z = 1
x - 3(3) - 1 = -9
x - 9 - 1 = -9
x - 10 = -9
x = 1
Note: If you write your equations across your paper, then the work can just flow down the paper. It makes it so much easier to show the work you have done. OK?
