Answer:
- x = 2
- (-5, 4, 6)
Explanation:
1. Substitution can work for this.
2x +3(4x -5) = 13
14x = 28 . . . . . add 15
x = 2 . . . . . . . divide by 14

2. The equation z=6 eliminates all but the 1st and 3rd choices. Using that value in the first equation gives ...
x + y + 6 = 5
x + y = -1
Only the 3rd choice satisfies this equation.
(x, y, z) = (-5, 4, 6)
