What is the solution of the system of equation.
Explain please.
Plug the values given and see if they work
ex: for -3x-4y-3z=7, let x = 5, y = -2, and z = 7 ... and see if it is true. If not, try answer b
Ok, hold on
*oops, it should = -7
I don't think it's answer B
nope
Would it be 'No Solution'?
Yes
Well that makes sense. I tried plugging in all of them and none seemed right.
Thanks for the help
You could have also solve it the usual way
But since they give you the solutions, you can check them
-3x - 4y - 3z = -7 -->(3) 2x - 6y + 2z = 3 -->(-2) --------------------- -9x - 12y -9z = -21 -4x + 12y - 4z = -6 ---------------------add - 13x - 13z = - 27 2x - 6y + 2z = 3 5x - 2y + 5z = 9 -->(-3) ------------------ 2x - 6y + 2z = 3 -15x + 6y - 15z = -27 ------------------add -13x - 13z = - 24 -13x - 13z = -27 -13x - 13z = -24 -->(-1) ------------------ -13x - 13z = -27 13x + 13z = 24 ----------------add 0 = -3 (INCORRECT) you are both correct....there is no solution
