Solution

You have uploaded an image with a system of linear equations in Russian. Let me first transcribe and solve the system.

The system of equations is as follows:

  1. 2x+4yz=12x + 4y - z = -1
  2. 3x+2y+z=13x + 2y + z = 1
  3. 3x+2y+2z=23x + 2y + 2z = 2

We need to solve for xx, yy, and zz.

Step-by-step solution:

We will use substitution or elimination methods.

  1. Solve for zz from the second equation:
    From equation (2):
    3x+2y+z=1z=13x2y3x + 2y + z = 1 \quad \Rightarrow \quad z = 1 - 3x - 2y

  2. Substitute zz into the other equations:
    Substituting z=13x2yz = 1 - 3x - 2y into equations (1) and (3):

    • From equation (1):
      2x+4y(13x2y)=12x+4y1+3x+2y=12x + 4y - (1 - 3x - 2y) = -1 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 2x + 4y - 1 + 3x + 2y = -1 Simplifying:
      5x+6y=05x=6yx=65y5x + 6y = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 5x = -6y \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = -\frac{6}{5}y

    • From equation (3):
      3x+2y+2(13x2y)=23x + 2y + 2(1 - 3x - 2y) = 2 Simplifying:
      3x+2y+26x4y=23x2y=03x=2y3x + 2y + 2 - 6x - 4y = 2 \quad \Rightarrow \quad -3x - 2y = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 3x = -2y x=23yx = -\frac{2}{3}y

  3. Solve the system of two equations for xx and yy: We now have two expressions for xx: x=65yandx=23yx = -\frac{6}{5}y \quad \text{and} \quad x = -\frac{2}{3}y Set them equal to each other: 65y=23y-\frac{6}{5}y = -\frac{2}{3}y Multiply both sides by 15 to eliminate fractions: 18y=10y-18y = -10y This results in y=0y = 0.

  4. Substitute y=0y = 0 back into the equations:

    • From x=65yx = -\frac{6}{5}y, we get x=0x = 0.
    • Substitute x=0x = 0 and y=0y = 0 into z=13x2yz = 1 - 3x - 2y: z=13(0)2(0)=1z = 1 - 3(0) - 2(0) = 1

Final solution:

x=0,y=0,z=1x = 0, \quad y = 0, \quad z = 1
