Question 668797: Need to see the steps in solving this linear equation (not by cramers rule)

Answer by ReadingBoosters(3246)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
2x - 5y + 4z = 8
2x + y + z = -1
x -3y + 2z = 7
...
Multiply the last equation by -2
-2(x - 3y + 2z = 7)
-2x + 6y - 4z = -14
...
Add to the first equation
2x + -2x + -5y + 6y + 4z + -4z = 8 + -14
Combine like terms

...
Multiply the second equation by -1
-1(2x + y + z = -1)
-2x - y - z = 1
...
Add to the first equation
2x + -2x + -5y + -y + 4z + - z = 8 + 1
Combine like terms
-6y + 3z = 9
Substitute the value of y
-6(-6) + 3z = 9
3z = 9 - 36
3z = -27

...
Use value of y and z to solve for x
2x - 5(-6) + 4(-9) = 8
2x + 30 - 36 = 8
2x = 8 - 30 + 36
2x = 14

...
