Answer 1

w = 5, x = 7, y = 6, z = 12

Explanation:

Evaluate each row by solving the corresponding equation, that is

row 1

4w = 20 ( divide both sides by 4 )

w = 5

row 2

2w + 2x = 24 ( substitute w = 5 )

2(5) + 2x = 24

10 + 2x = 24 ( subtract 10 from both sides )

2x = 14 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 7

row 3

w + 2x + y = 25 , that is

5 + 2(7) + y = 25

5 + 14 + y = 25

19 + y = 25 ( subtract 19 from both sides )

y = 6

row 4

w + x + y + z = 30 , that is

5 + 7 + 6 + z = 30

18 + z = 30 ( subtract 18 from both sides )

z = 12
