3. 4X+Y=17; 2X+3Y=21; none -- -- none
________________________________________________________________________________
4. 18X+Y=42; 6X-3Y=-6; none -- -- none
________________________________________________________________________________
5. X+Y+2Z=5; X+Y=5; X+3Y+Z=11; -- -- --
________________________________________________________________________________
6. X+10Y+Z=52; 5X+Y+4Z=15; X+2Y-3Z=12; -- -- --
________________________________________________________________________________
7. 2X+2Y+4Z=10; 3X+3Y=15; 4X+12Y+4Z=44; -- -- -- ____________________________________________________________________________

7.
2X+2Y+4Z=10 --> x + y + 2z = 5
3X+3Y=15 --> x + y = 5
4X+12Y+4Z=44 --> x + 3y + z = 11
------------
Reducing often helps.
x + y + 2z = 5
x + y + 0z = 5
---------------- Subtract
2z = 0
z = 0
------
x + 3y = 11
x + y = 5
----------- Subtract
2y = 6
y = 3
------
x = 2
------
Do the others in a similar manner
----------------
Don't type in all those lines.
