Q. Solve the system of equations by elimination.2x−2y−z=−6−x−3y+3z=−6−x+y+z=6
Multiply by 2: First, let's multiply the third equation by 2 so we can eliminate z with the first equation.−2(−x+y+z)=2(6)2x−2y−2z=12
Add to eliminate z: Now, add the modified third equation to the first equation to eliminate z.(2x−2y−z)+(2x−2y−2z)=−6+124x−4y−3z=6But wait, there's a mistake here, I didn't eliminate z correctly.
