Question 1129997: Could someone assist in explaining how to correctly solve the question. My previous answer was -40-x-3z/2.
Solve the system by Gaussian elimination. (If there is no solution, enter NO SOLUTION. If there are an infinite number of solutions, enter a general solution in terms of one of the variables.)
0.1x − 0.2y + 0.3z = 4
0.5x − 0.1y + 0.4z = 16
0.7x − 0.2y + 0.3z = 16
