and if y'all wait a few minutes, i can post the work i've done so far

camera's charging :l
OpenStudy (aripotta):
i'd really like to see where i messed up. i got x = -3/5, but it's not right
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
\[(i)\qquad2x+2y-z=1\]\[(ii)\qquad2x+3y+z=8\]\[(iii)\qquad3x-y-2z=-4\]
\[-(i)\qquad-2x-2y+z=-1\]
\[(ii)+(iii)-(i)\]\[\quad=(2x+3y+z)+(3x-y-2z)+(-2x-2y+z)=8+(-4)+(-1)\]
solve for x
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
you should find x=1
