Answer:

(x, y, z, w) = (3, 7, 6, 8)

Explanation:

Your list equation seems to resolve to 6 equations:

  • x = 2x -3
  • 6 = z
  • 2x -1 = 5
  • y = 7
  • 9 = w +1
  • 9y = 8y +7

The first equation tells you ...

0 = x -3 . . . . . subtract x

3 = x . . . . . . . add 3

We can check this in the third equation:

2(3) -1 = 5 . . . true

The fifth equation tells you ...

8 = w . . . . . . . subtract 1

We can check the value of y in the last equation:

9(7) = 8(7) +7 . . . true

The variable values are ...

(x, y, z, w) = (3, 7, 6, 8)
