Math Problem Statement

Solve the system of linear equations: x - y + 2z = 0, x - 2y + 3z = -1, 2x - 2y + z = -3.

Solution

The given image contains a system of linear equations. The equations are:

  1. xy+2z=0x - y + 2z = 0
  2. x2y+3z=1x - 2y + 3z = -1
  3. 2x2y+z=32x - 2y + z = -3

Let me solve this system of equations for xx, yy, and zz. sympy import symbols, Eq, solve

Define variables

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

Define equations

eq1 = Eq(x - y + 2z, 0) eq2 = Eq(x - 2y + 3z, -1) eq3 = Eq(2x - 2*y + z, -3)

Solve the system of equations

solution = solve((eq1, eq2, eq3), (x, y, z)) solutionThe solution to the system of equations is:

x=0,  y=2,  z=1x = 0, \; y = 2, \; z = 1

Would you like a detailed step-by-step explanation of the solution process?

Here are 5 related questions to expand your understanding:

  1. How can you check if the solution satisfies all three equations?
  2. What methods other than substitution and elimination can solve linear systems?
  3. What happens if a system of equations has no solution or infinitely many solutions?
  4. Can this system be represented and solved using matrix algebra?
  5. How would the solution change if one of the equations were altered slightly?

Tip: Always substitute your solutions back into the original equations to verify correctness.
