What is the solution of the system of equations? 2x+2y+3z=-6 3x+5y+4z=3 2x+3y+4z=-10

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

have you done system of equations of 2 variables yet?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

ok, then pick 2 of those 3 up there, and cancel say "z" off it :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i would use substitution. solve one of the equations for a single variable, then plug that variable into another equation and then solve for a different single variable... basically the same thing as 2 variable, just a couple extra steps

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks guys

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

then you'd end up with a RESULTANT equation of only "x" and "y" once that's done pick another 2 of those 3, the one you didn't pick and another one and cancel the same "z" from it then you'd end up with a 2nd RESULTANT equation of only "x" and "y"

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

then solve the 2 RESULTANT equations by elimination :)

Ok awesome :) thats way easier
