Question 249137: My son is having an impossible time with this question; we hope you can help.
He has 3 line equations with 3 variables.
5/x +3y + 62=1
1/x +3(z-y)=9 1/5
2/x +3/5z+y=-1
He has tried the Gaussian(sp) elimination method but cannot quite figure it out.
Can you show him how to do this?

Question 250227: In a 3-by-3 linear system, there should be a tripled pair for the system.
This system being:
3x+3y+6z=9
2x+y+3z=7
x+2y-z=-10

what would be the work in solving this? I figured out the tripled pair, but my work doesn't seem to match up exactly. Would you please help me with this problem? At least start me off, so I can finish it!

Question 250243: 3x+3y+6z=9
2x+y+3z=7
x+2y-z=-10

I was provided work for this problem using the matrix method. Unfortunately, I am not familiar with that method. Thanks for the help though.This is a 3-by-3 system of inequalities. In order to find the tripled pair, I need to use either the substitution of linear combination(elimination)method.
I figured out the ordered pairs, but work doesn't match up exactly.
Please help!
