What is the solution of the system of equation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Explain please.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Plug the values given and see if they work

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, hold on

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*oops, it should = -7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't think it's answer B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Would it be 'No Solution'?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well that makes sense. I tried plugging in all of them and none seemed right.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks for the help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You could have also solve it the usual way

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But since they give you the solutions, you can check them

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

-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
