The following system is solved by substitution. Which expression is substituted for z in the second and third equations?
x + 5y – z = 6
3x – y – 2z = 4
3x – 2y + 3z = 13
x + 5y + 6
x + 5y – 6
–x – 5y + 6
–x – 5y – 6

take first equation, solve for z
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
x + 5y – z = 6

alright//
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
to solve for z, u need to isolate z. so wat would u do to isolate it ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
add z on both sides?

perfect ! do that
OpenStudy (anonymous):
alright...
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
wat do u get when u add z both sides
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you should explain how you did on my last question cause i understood it better xD
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
last q you're making baby steps... this q u are running a marathon it seems, so...

x + 5y – z = 6
+z +z
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
x + 5y = 6+z
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
next what ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i have no idea to be honest
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
ur goal is to isolate z, since 6 is attached to z, we subtract 6 both sides
