| Question 4179:  Need another soloution to the question previously asked
 Solve the following system of equations
 3x-2y+4z=1
 x+y+2z=3
 2x-3y+6z=6
 I previously did not understand your answer and per your advisement is seeking another solution (in other words had not idea what you were "talking about") :-)

      (Show Source): 
You can put this solution on YOUR website! lol no worries...Right then, the tedious way: 
 eqn2 can be re-written as x=3-y-2z. We will now sub this into eqn1 and 3, to give:
 
 eqn1 --> 3(3-y-2z)-2y+4z=1 --> 9-3y-6z-2y+4z=1 --> -5y-2z=-8
 eqn3 --> 2(3-y-2z)-3y+6z=6 --> 6-2y-4z-3y+6z=6 --> -5y+2z=0
 
 Add these 2 eqns to give: -10y=-8 --> y=0.8
 Subtract the 2 eqns to give: -4z = -8 --> z=2
 
 But these into eqn2 to find x: x=3-0.8-2(2), so x=-1.8
 
 Is this what i gave as the answers te first time? I cannot remember!
