Answer:

Therefore, x = 0 , y = 2 ,z = 5.

Explanation:

Given : Equations .

To find : What is the solution to the following system.

Solution : We have given that

x + 2y + z = 9 ------(1)

x -y + 3z = 13 ------(2)

2z = 10 ------(3)

On dividing by 2 both side on equation 3

z = 5 .

Plug the value z = 5 in equation (1 )and (2).

x + 2y + 5 = 9

On subtracting both sides by 5

x + 2y = 9 -5

x + 2y = 4 -------equation(3)

From equation 2

x - y + 3 (5) = 13

x - y + 15 = 13

On subtracting both sides by 15

x -y = -2 ------equation (4)

On subtracting equation(4) from equation(3).

x + 2y = 4

(-)x - ( +)y = - (+) 2

______________

0 + 3y = 6

On dividing by 3

y = 2.

Plug y = 2 in equation 3

x + 2( 2 ) = 4

x + 4 = 4.

On subtracting both sides by 2.

x = 4 - 4

x = 0 .

Therefore, x = 0 , y = 2 ,z = 5.
