Answer 5

I ended up with like
-21y-42z=77
21y+42z=33
it cancels out

Answer 6

you could be charged with identity theft.. i would change it...

Answer 7

here's how I would do it

-x+2z=-9

-x = -2z - 9

x = 2z + 9

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

-x-3y-4z=2

-(2z + 9) - 3y - 4z = 2

-2z - 9 - 3y - 4z = 2

-3y - 6z - 9 = 2

-3y - 6z = 2+9

-3y - 6z = 11


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

-3x-2y+2z=17


-3(2z + 9)-2y+2z=17


-6z -27 - 2y+2z=17


-2y - 4z - 27 = 17


-2y - 4z = 17+27


-2y - 4z = 44

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


-3y - 6z = 11
-2y - 4z = 44


-2(-3y - 6z) = 2*11
3*(-2y - 4z) = 3*44


6y + 12z = 22
-6y - 12z = 132
----------------
0y + 0z = 154


0 = 154 ... which is a contradiction


So you are 100% correct. There are no solutions and this system is inconsistent.
