Q. Solve for x,y, and zx+6y−z=−5−2x−5y+2z=3x−54y+z=519
Write Equations: Write down the system of equations.We have the following system of linear equations:1) x+6y−z=−52) −2x−5y+2z=33) x−(54)y+z=(519)
Eliminate Fraction: Multiply the third equation by 5 to eliminate the fraction.5(x−(54)y+z)=5×(519)This simplifies to:5x−4y+5z=19Now we have the system:1) x+6y−z=−52) −2x−5y+2z=33) 5x−4y+5z=19
Eliminate Variable x: Use the method of elimination to eliminate one variable. Let's eliminate x by adding equation 1 and equation 2.(x+6y−z)+(−2x−5y+2z)=−5+3This simplifies to:−x+y+z=−2Now we have the system:1)−x+y+z=−22)−2x−5y+2z=33)5x−4y+5z=19
Eliminate Variable x: Multiply equation 1 by 2 and add it to equation 2 to eliminate x.2(−x+y+z)+(−2x−5y+2z)=2(−2)+3This simplifies to:−2x+2y+2z−2x−5y+2z=−4+3Combining like terms, we get:−4x−3y+4z=−1Now we have the system:1) −x+y+z=−22) −4x−3y+4z=−13) 5x−4y+5z=19
Eliminate Variable x: Multiply equation 1 by 5 and add it to equation 3 to eliminate x.5(−x+y+z)+(5x−4y+5z)=5(−2)+19This simplifies to:−5x+5y+5z+5x−4y+5z=−10+19Combining like terms, we get:y+10z=9Now we have the system:1) −x+y+z=−22) −4x−3y+4z=−13) y+10z=9
Solve for y: Solve equation 3 for y.y=9−10zNow we can substitute this expression for y into equations 1 and 2.
Substitute y into Eq 1: Substitute y=9−10z into equation 1.−x+(9−10z)+z=−2 This simplifies to:−x+9−9z=−2 Now solve for x:−x=−2−9+9zx=11−9z
Substitute y into Eq 2: Substitute y=9−10z into equation 2.−4x−3(9−10z)+4z=−1This simplifies to:−4x−27+30z+4z=−1Now solve for x:−4x=−1+27−34zx=(28−34z)/−4x=−7+(34/4)zx=−7+(17/2)z
Solve for z: Equate the two expressions for x and solve for z.11−9z=−7+(217)zMultiply through by 2 to eliminate the fraction:22−18z=−14+17zCombine like terms:22+14=17z+18z36=35zDivide by 35:z=3536z=1.02857142857 (approximately)
Substitute z into y: Substitute z back into the expression for y. y=9−10z y=9−10(3536) y=9−35360 y=9−10.2857142857 y=−1.2857142857 (approximately)
Substitute z into x: Substitute z back into the expression for x. x=11−9z x=11−9(3536) x=11−35324 x=11−9.25714285714 x=1.74285714286 (approximately)
