Question 549659: Hello,
I have the following system of equations. When I first tried to solve the problem using elimination (getting rid of y in 1&2), the whole problem canceled out. The same thing happened when I tried to eliminate z. I did finally solve the problem but only after trial and error using elimination.
Is there a way to recognize which variables are best to eliminate or at least which ones can not be eliminated?
Thanks.
