Q. Solve the system.{x+3y−z=−6−2x−y+z=10x−y+3z=2
Write Equations: Write down the system of equations.The system of equations is:x+3y−z=−6−2x−y+z=10x−y+3z=2
Elimination Method: Use the elimination method to eliminate one variable.We can start by eliminating the variable z. To do this, we can add the first and second equations to eliminate z.(x+3y−z)+(−2x−y+z)=−6+10This simplifies to:−x+2y=4
Solve for x and y: Now we have a new system of two equations with two variables.The new system is:−x+2y=4x−y+3z=2
Equations with y and z: Solve the new system for x and y.We can solve for x from the first equation of the new system:−x+2y=4x=2y−4Now we substitute x in the second equation:(2y−4)−y+3z=2y−4+3z=2y+3z=6
Solve for y and z: We now have two equations with y and z.The equations are:y+3z=6−2x−y+z=10We can substitute x from step 4 into the second equation:−2(2y−4)−y+z=10−4y+8−y+z=10−5y+z=2
Find z: Solve the system of equations with y and z. We have two equations: y+3z=6−5y+z=2 We can multiply the first equation by 5 to eliminate y: 5(y+3z)=5(6)5y+15z=30 Now we add this to the second equation: 5y+15z+(−5y+z)=30+2 This simplifies to: 16z=32z=1632z=2
Find y: Substitute z back into one of the equations to find y. We can use the equation y+3z=6: y+3(2)=6y+6=6y=6−6y=0
Find x: Substitute y back into the equation from step 4 to find x. We use the equation x=2y−4: x=2(0)−4x=−4
Final Solution: Write down the solution to the system of equations.The solution is x=−4, y=0, z=2.
