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

OpenStudy (aripotta):

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

OpenStudy (aripotta):

ok, one second...i'll post the picture...i dunno how i got -3/5...

OpenStudy (aripotta):

this is what i did...can you tell me what i did wrong?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

how would i get x = 1? i don't understand what you did :<

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

OpenStudy (aripotta):

omg. realleh.

OpenStudy (aripotta):

ok...lemme see what i get when i fix it

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
