Math Problem Statement

3x+4y-6z=-60

Solution

To solve the equation 3x+4y6z=603x + 4y - 6z = -60, we need more information, as it's currently a single equation with three unknowns. In general, to find the exact values of xx, yy, and zz, we would need two additional independent equations to form a system.

Without that, we can express one variable in terms of the others. For example, we can solve for zz in terms of xx and yy:

6z=603x4y-6z = -60 - 3x - 4y

z=60+3x+4y6z = \frac{60 + 3x + 4y}{6}

This expresses zz in terms of xx and yy. We could do similar rearrangements for xx or yy if needed.

Would you like to provide more equations, or continue exploring this solution?


Here are five related questions for further practice:

  1. How would you solve for yy in terms of xx and zz?
  2. What happens if z=0z = 0 in the original equation?
  3. Can you find integer solutions for xx, yy, and zz using this equation?
  4. How would you graph this equation in three-dimensional space?
  5. How does adding another equation change the possible solutions?

Tip: For systems of equations with multiple variables, using substitution or elimination methods can help find exact solutions!
