Solve each system in three variables
14)
2x-y+3z=14
x+y-2z=-5
3x+y- z=2
------------
Elimination and substitution is one way to do these.
1st, pick a variable to eliminate from 2 of the eqns. Since y has a coeff of 1 in all 3, it's the easiest.
Add eqn 3 to eqn 1, and then subtract it from eqn 2.
2x-y+3z=14
3x+y- z=2
-------------
5x+0y+2z = 16 Eqn A
-------------
x+y-2z=-5
3x+y- z=2
----------
-2x+0y-z = -7 Eqn B
Now there are 2 eqns in x and z
Multiply Eqn A and B by something to get the same coeff for either x or z.
Multiply B by 2 to get 2z in both
5x+0y+2z = 16 Eqn A
-4x-2z = -14 Eqn B times 2
------------- Add these
x = 2
-----
Sub x into Eqn A, find z
z = 3
---------
Sub z and z into any eqn to find y
y = -2
------
x = 2
y = -1
z = 3
----------------
