Math Problem Statement

−3x+9y−5z= −5 minus, 3, x, plus, 2, y, minus, 3, z, equals, minus, 9 −3x+2y−3z= −9 3, x, plus, 6, y, plus, 4, z, equals, 7 3x+6y+4z= 7

Solution

We are solving a system of three equations with three variables (xx, yy, and zz):

  1. 3x+9y5z=5-3x + 9y - 5z = -5
  2. 3x+2y3z=9-3x + 2y - 3z = -9
  3. 3x+6y+4z=73x + 6y + 4z = 7

Steps:

1. Simplify and organize:

The equations are already organized, so let’s start solving using the substitution or elimination method.

2. Eliminate xx between the first two equations:

Subtract equation 2 from equation 1:

(3x+9y5z)(3x+2y3z)=5(9)(-3x + 9y - 5z) - (-3x + 2y - 3z) = -5 - (-9)

Simplify:

7y2z=47y - 2z = 4

3. Eliminate xx between the first and third equations:

Add equation 1 and equation 3:

(3x+9y5z)+(3x+6y+4z)=5+7(-3x + 9y - 5z) + (3x + 6y + 4z) = -5 + 7

Simplify:

15yz=215y - z = 2

4. Solve the system of two equations in yy and zz:

Now solve the system:

  1. 7y2z=47y - 2z = 4
  2. 15yz=215y - z = 2

From the second equation, solve for zz in terms of yy:

z=15y2z = 15y - 2

Substitute z=15y2z = 15y - 2 into the first equation:

7y2(15y2)=47y - 2(15y - 2) = 4

Simplify:

7y30y+4=47y - 30y + 4 = 4

23y=0-23y = 0

y=0y = 0

5. Solve for zz:

Substitute y=0y = 0 into z=15y2z = 15y - 2:

z=15(0)2=2z = 15(0) - 2 = -2

6. Solve for xx:

Substitute y=0y = 0 and z=2z = -2 into any original equation, such as equation 2:

3x+2(0)3(2)=9-3x + 2(0) - 3(-2) = -9

3x+6=9-3x + 6 = -9

3x=15-3x = -15

x=5x = 5

Final Solution:

x=5,y=0,z=2x = 5, \, y = 0, \, z = -2
