Short Answer

Solve each system of equations. If the system has no solution, say that it is inconsistent.

2x-3y-z=0 3x+2y+2z=2 x+5y+3z=2

The solution set for the given system is {(x,y,z)=(6-4z13,4-7z13,z)/zR}

See the step by step solution

Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Given information

We are given an equation

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

Step 2: Multiply equation 1 by 2 and equation 2 by 3And then add both the equation

We get,

2(2x-3y-z=0)4x-6y-2z=0 (4)3(3x+2y+2z=2)9x+6y+6z=5 (5)

Now we add both the equation

4x-6y-2z=0+9x+6y+6z=413x+4z=4

Hence we have

13x+4z=4x=4-4z13

Step 3: Multiply equation 1 by 3 and then add it to equation 3

We get,

3(2x-3y-z=0)6x-9y-3z=0

And now we add,

3x+2y+2z=2-3x-15y-9z=-6-13y-7z=-4

Hence we get, -13y-7z=-4y=-7z+413

Step 4: Conclusion

The solution set for the given equation is

{(x,y,z)=(6-4z13,4-7z13,z)/zR}
