solve the system of equations. let z be parameter
5x + 3y + 4z = 19
3x - y + z = -4
------------------
Rewrite:
5x + 3y= -4z + 19
3x - y = -z -4
---------------------
Multiply thru 2nd equation by 3 to get:
5x + 3y = -4z + 19
9x -3y = -3z - 12
-------------------------
Add to eliminate the y-terms.
--------------------------
14x = -7z + 7
x = (-1/2)z + (1/2)
------------------------
Substitute that into 3x-y = -z-4 to solve for "y":
3[(-1/2)z + (1/2)] - y = -z-4
(-3/2)z + (3/2) +z + 4 = y
y = (-1/2)z + (11/2)
------------------------
