Question 827544: Solve the system using substitution.
x + 6z = -45
5x + 3y - 2z = -33
y + 4z = -24
I think i keep messing up the first step because when im finished i get
x=-9, y=8, z=-6, but it doesnt work when pluging it back in

x + 6z = -45
5x + 3y - 2z = -33
y + 4z = -24

solution by matrix-method:
x = -9
y = 0
z = -6

determinant of system matrix = 44
---
now by substitution:
---
x + 6z = -45
x = -6z - 45
---
5x + 3y - 2z = -33
5(-6z - 45) + 3y - 2z = -33
-30z - 225 + 3y - 2z = -33
---
3y - 32z = 192
---
y + 4z = -24
y = -4z - 24
---
3y - 32z = 192
3(-4z - 24) - 32z = 192
-12z - 72 - 32z = 192
-44z = 264
z = -264/44
---
z = -6
---
y = -4z - 24
y = -4(-6) - 24
---
y = 0
---
x = -6z - 45
x = -6(-6) - 45
---
x = -9
---
---
solution by substitution-method:
x = -9
y = 0
z = -6
---
the two methods agree.
