PLEASE help with solving systems of linear equations with three variables! x + 3y + 2z = -2 2x - y - z = -9 x- 2y + 5z = 1
this one has a long process. It's similar to that of system of equations with two variables, just you have to repeat the process more times. You solve for one variable, say x in the first equation. that equation in to the second one, leaving you with y and z. Now solve for y, and plug it in to the third one, leaving you with just z. You should get a solid number now, and you can plug in that value into the first problem. Basically repeat that until you have all three values.
Are you studying linear algebra or just algebra in high school?
Do you need help???
Yes , I still do not understand. Whenever I try this problem i get getting huge fractions like x= 150/52
ok, do it like me. For example: from first equation: x = -2 -3y-2z -> from second: 2(-2 -3y-2z) -y -z = -y
The answer is neat integers. Try again.
from second equation you must find y or z and than put it to third equation
x = -2 -3y-2z -> from second: 2(-2 -3y-2z) -y -z = -9
Yes, the solutions are small integers, with one variable actually being a "0"
