does the equations form a linear system? 3z + x = -4 y + 5z = 1 6x + 2z = 3 -x-y-z = 4 please explain as well, thanks :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Except the last one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This does form a linear system because each of the terms are only to the first power.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They all are, you're thinking of a linear equation, (which the last one is too actually).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, you are right I misread it as equation of line instead of linear system

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what if you take that whole 4 equations together? will it form a linear system?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You mean add them, then yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how about will you do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since they all not all x y and z

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh wait i think i know by just using two and a time to solve for each :P
