Solve the system of equations. Remember: systems with one solution will have an answer in the form of an ordered triplet.

Example: (3, -4, 10)



For systems with infinite solutions or no solutions, write the words ‘infinite solutions’ or ‘no solutions’.



x + 2y -z = 2

2x - 7y + 5z = 3

-4x + y + 2z = 4



Answer :

The solution to the given equation is x = 1, y = 2, z = 3. That is (1, 2, 3)

System of Linear Equations

From the question, we are to solve the given system of linear equations

The given system of linear equation is

x + 2y -  z = 2       ----------- (1)

2x - 7y + 5z = 3    ----------- (2)

-4x + y + 2z = 4    ----------- (3)

From equations (1) and (2), eliminate z

5 × ( x + 2y -  z = 2      

1 × ( 2x - 7y + 5z = 3

---------------------------------------  

5x + 10y -5z = 10

2x -7y + 5z = 3

Add the resulting equations

7x + 3y = 13 ----------- (4)

From equations (2) and (3), eliminate z

2 × ( 2x - 7y + 5z = 3    

5 × ( -4x + y + 2z = 4  

-----------------------------------

4x - 14y + 10z = 6

-20x + 5y + 10z = 20

Subtract the resulting equations

24x - 19y = -14 ---------- (5)

Now, solve equations (4) and (5) simultaneously

7x + 3y = 13

24x - 19y = -14

Eliminate y
19 × ( 7x + 3y = 13

3 × ( 24x - 19y = -14

---------------------------------

133x + 57y = 247

72x - 57y = -42

Add the resulting equations

205x = 205

x = 205/205

x = 1

Substitute the value of x into equation (4)

7x + 3y = 13

7(1) + 3y = 13

7 + 3y = 13

3y = 13 - 7

3y = 6

c = 6/3

y = 2

Substitute the values of x and y into equation (1)

x + 2y -  z = 2

1 + 2(2) - z = 2

1 + 4 - z = 2

1 + 4 - 2 = z

3 = z

z =3

The solution to the given equation is x = 1, y = 2, z = 3. That is (1, 2, 3)
