You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Three equations would normally have three variables.
2^5 + 5 + 5*3 = 155
5 - 2*5 + 0 = -20
-5 + 3*5 - 5 = -5
--------------------------
Now put x, y, and z in place of the 5's:
2x + y + 3z = 155
x - 2y + 0 = -20
-x + 3y - z = -5
--------------------------
The solutions should be x = 5, y=5, z=5
