Answer:

D- No solution

Explanation:

Isolate x for x+2y−z=3: x=3−2y+z

then Simplify

then Isolate y for −5y+4z+6=6: y= 4z 5 −5y+4z+6=6 Subtract 6 from both sides −5y+4z+6−6=6−6 Simplify −5y+4z=0 Subtract 4z from both sides −5y+4z−4z=0−4z Simplify −5y=−4z Divide both sides by −5 −5y −5 = −4z −5 Simplify y= 4z 5

lastly simply.
