Solve the following system of equations. x + 3y - z = 2 x - 2y + 3z = 7 x + 2y - 5z = -21
this isnt possible
>.<
(2, 3, 5) (-2, 3, 5) (2, -3, 5) (2, 3, -5) these are the answer choices

When you have a multiple choice, start testing each choice until you get the one that works. (2,3,5) does not satisfy the firs equation x + 3y - z = 2 2+ 3(3)-5=6 is not equal to 2 You continue testing until you get the answer.
As you can see from wolframalpha (-2,3,5} satisfies the three equation and you are done. Of course, you can solve the three equations by hand.
Two competing internet companies have recently restructured their payment plans. Quick Net requires a $10 activation fee and charges $55 per month for their basic plan. Speedy Net requires no activation fee and charges $57 per month for their basic plan. When will the two plans be equal in cost?
