Math Problem Statement

Solve the following system of equations for all three variables: -4x + 6y + 3z = -10, 4x - 10y - z = -10, -4x + y - z = -9.

Solution

The system of equations from the image is:

4x+6y+3z=10-4x + 6y + 3z = -10 4x10yz=104x - 10y - z = -10 4x+yz=9-4x + y - z = -9

Let's solve this system step-by-step using either substitution or elimination. I'll proceed with the elimination method.

Step 1: Add the first and third equations

By adding these two equations, we aim to eliminate xx.

(4x+6y+3z)+(4x+yz)=10+(9)(-4x + 6y + 3z) + (-4x + y - z) = -10 + (-9) Simplifying:

8x+7y+2z=19-8x + 7y + 2z = -19

This is our new equation (Equation 4): 8x+7y+2z=19(Equation 4)-8x + 7y + 2z = -19 \quad \text{(Equation 4)}

Step 2: Add the second and third equations

We also eliminate xx from the second and third equations.

(4x10yz)+(4x+yz)=10+(9)(4x - 10y - z) + (-4x + y - z) = -10 + (-9) Simplifying:

9y2z=19-9y - 2z = -19 This is our new equation (Equation 5): 9y2z=19(Equation 5)-9y - 2z = -19 \quad \text{(Equation 5)}

Step 3: Solve for yy and zz

Now we solve the system formed by Equations 4 and 5:

From Equation 5: 9y2z=19(Equation 5)-9y - 2z = -19 \quad \text{(Equation 5)} Solve for zz: z=19+9y2=199y2z = \frac{-19 + 9y}{-2} = \frac{19 - 9y}{2}

Step 4: Substitute zz back into Equation 4 and solve for yy

I will calculate the solution next.It seems I made a mistake in interpreting the structure of the system in terms of substitution.

I will recalculate the solution
