Math Problem Statement

5y-8z=-19 5x-8z=6 3x-2y=12

Solution

The system of equations provided is:

  1. 5y8z=195y - 8z = -19
  2. 5x8z=65x - 8z = 6
  3. 3x2y=123x - 2y = 12

We can solve this system step-by-step. Here's the outline of the solution process:

Step 1: Solve one equation for one variable

From the second equation, 5x8z=65x - 8z = 6, we can solve for xx:

x=8z+65x = \frac{8z + 6}{5}

Step 2: Substitute into the third equation

Substitute xx into the third equation 3x2y=123x - 2y = 12:

3(8z+65)2y=123\left(\frac{8z + 6}{5}\right) - 2y = 12

Multiply through by 3:

24z+1852y=12\frac{24z + 18}{5} - 2y = 12

Multiply the entire equation by 5 to eliminate the fraction:

24z+1810y=6024z + 18 - 10y = 60

Simplify this:

24z10y=4224z - 10y = 42

Step 3: Solve the first and new equation together

We now have two equations:

  1. 5y8z=195y - 8z = -19
  2. 24z10y=4224z - 10y = 42
