I'm finally online! Okay, so the key to elimination is to "eliminate" individual constants. I'll call the equations a, b and c. (From top to bottom!) b + c = \[(2x + 3y + 3z) + (-2x-y+z) = 2y + 4z = 2\] a - b = \[(-2x +2y +3z) - (-2x - y + z) = 3y +2z = 3\] \[(3y +2z) * 2 = 6y + 4z = 6\] \[(6y +4z) - (2y+ 4z) = 6-2 = 4\] therefore 4y = 4 y = 1 -- using the new information. \[a = -2x + 2 + 3z\] \[b= -2x - 1+z\] \[a - b = 3 + 2z = 3\] therefore z = 0 --- Using the new information. \[a= -2x + 2 + 0 = 0\] \[-2x + 2 = 0\] therefore x = 1
You can plug in the values of x, y and z into each equation to see if they are correct. If they are, then the plugged in values should result in the same "end numbers" (in this case, 0,-3, 5)
