Short Answer

In exercises, 1 through 10, findall solutions of the linear systems using elimination.T hen check your solutions.

10.|x+2y+3z=12x+4y+7z=23x+7y+11z=8|

The solution of system of equation is x=-9,y=5,z=0

See the step by step solution

Step by Step Solution

Step 1:Transforming the system

To get the solution, we will transform the value of x,y,z.

x+2y+3z=1 ......12x+4y+7z=2 ......23x+7y+11z=8 ......3Into the form x=....y=....z=...

Step 2: Eliminating the variables

In the given system of equations, we can eliminate the variables by adding or subtracting the equations.

In this system, we can eliminate the variable x from equation 2 and 3. First of all subtract the 2 times of equation 1 from equation 2 and then subtract the 3 times of first equation from equation 3.

x+2y+3z=12x-2x+4y-4y+7z-6z=03x-3x+7y-6y+11z-9z=5=x+2y+3z=1z=0y+2z=5

Now put the value of z which is in second equation to the first and second equation.

x+2(y)+3(0)=1z=0y+2(0)=5=x=1-2yz=0y=5=x=-9z=0y=5

Hence, we get value of x=-9,y=5,z=0

Step 3: Checking the solution

Now check the solution by putting the value of x, y and z in the given system of equation.

-9+2(5)+3(0)=1 2(-9)+4(5)+7(0)=23(-9)+7(5)+11(0)=8

Which is true.

Hence, the solution of system of equation is x=-9,y=5,z=0
