Math Problem Statement

Solve the system of equations: 1. 3x - y + 2z = 4 2. 6x - 2y + 4z = -8 3. 2x - y + 3z = 10

Solution

The image contains a system of three linear equations with three variables. Let's solve the system:

  1. 3xy+2z=43x - y + 2z = 4
  2. 6x2y+4z=86x - 2y + 4z = -8
  3. 2xy+3z=102x - y + 3z = 10

I'll begin solving this system using the method of substitution or elimination. Let's first manipulate the equations to make it easier to solve.

I'll proceed with this. sympy import symbols, Eq, solve

Define variables

x, y, z = symbols('x y z')

Define the equations

eq1 = Eq(3x - y + 2z, 4) eq2 = Eq(6x - 2y + 4z, -8) eq3 = Eq(2x - y + 3*z, 10)

Solve the system of equations

solution = solve((eq1, eq2, eq3), (x, y, z)) solutionIt appears that the system of equations has no solution, meaning the system is inconsistent. This could happen if the equations are parallel or contradictory in some way.

Would you like to explore why the system doesn't have a solution, or would you like assistance with another problem?

Here are some related questions:

  1. What does it mean for a system of equations to be inconsistent?
  2. How can you tell if two linear equations are parallel?
  3. What are methods to solve systems of equations, and when should you use them?
  4. Can a system of linear equations have infinitely many solutions?
  5. What is the graphical interpretation of an inconsistent system of equations?

Tip: When solving a system of equations, checking the determinant (for 2x2 or 3x3 systems) can give a quick clue if the system has a unique solution.
