Answer:

x=1, y=1, z=0

Explanation:

System of Equations

We are required to solve the system of equations by elimination:


\left\{\begin{matrix}-2x+2y+3z=0\qquad [1]\\-2x-y+z=-3 \qquad [2]\\2x+3y+3z=5 \qquad [3]\end{matrix}\right

Adding [1] and [3], and subtracting [1] and [2]:


\left\{\begin{matrix}5y+6z=5\qquad [4]\\3y+2z=3\qquad [5] \end{matrix}\right.

Multiplying [5] by -3 and adding to [4]:


-4y=-4

Solving:


y = -4 / (-4) = 1


y=1

Substituting into [5]:


5(1)+6z=5

Simplifying:


6z = 0

z=0

Substituting into [3]


2x+3(1)+3(0)=5

Operating:


2x+3=5


2x = 2


x = 2/2=1

x=1

The solution is

x=1, y=1, z=0
