Question 530105: question: Using complete sentences, explain which method you would use to solve the following system of equations and why. In your answer, include the solution to one of the variables and how you found it using the method you chose.
x – 5y + 2z = 0
x + 4y – z = 12
2x – y + 3z = 10
MY answer: in this equation i used the elimination method because its easiest for me.
addition eliminates x and y so i am solving for z
i got: 0+0-2z=2
then i multiplied by -1 and got 2z= -2
then i divided both sides by 2 and my final answer is: z= -1

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You have the correct answer for z. Good job.

Now use that answer to find x and y.
