Answer:

The ordered triple does not satisfy the system of equations

Step-by-step explanation:

The given ordered triple satisfy the given system of equations if the substitution x = 0, y = -4, and z = 0 satisfy the equations simultaneously. If anyone fails, then it does not satisfy

For the first equation:


3(0)-2(-2)+4(0)=-4

This is satisfied

For the second equation:


-2=-(0)/(3)-2

This is also satisfied

For the third equation:


2(0)+2(0)=-4

This is NOT satisfied

Therefore, the ordered triple does not satisfy the system of equations
