Question 217872
6x + 5y +2z = 830
3x + 7y+4z=820
2z-22=x
------------
Since x is already given in terms of z (in the 3rd eqn), sub for x in the other 2 equations.
6x + 5y +2z = 830
3x + 7y+4z=820
-------------
6(2z-22) + 5y + 2z = 830
5y + 14z = 962 Eqn A
------------
3(2z-22) + 7y + 4z = 820
7y + 10z = 886 Eqn B
--------------
Get the same coefficient for y by multiplying Eqn A by 7 and Eqn B by 5
------------
35y + 98z = 5810 A times 7
35y + 50z = 4430 B times 5
---------------- Subtract
0y + 48z = 1380
z = 1380/48
z 115/4  One answer done
-------
Sub for z into Eqn A (or B, same result)
5y + 14z = 962 Eqn A
5y + 14*115/4 = 962
5y = 962 - 805/2 = 1119/2
y = 1119/10 = 111.9
--------------------
Sub for y and z into any of the 3 original eqns to find x
6x + 5y +2z = 830
6x + 5*1119/10 + 2*115/4 = 830
6x = 4260/6
x = 710
