What is the solution of the system below? x=-3y-4 -3y=2x-7 z=-6x+y a. x=-5, y=11, z=-71 b. x=11, y=-71, z=-5 c. x=-71, y=-5, z=11 d. x=11, y=-5, z=-71

Best answer that i found on yahoo ok   set :   x= length of 2nd piece in cm  x- 3= length of 1st piece in cm  x-4= length of 3rd piece in cm  then since you know they all came from the 20 cm ribbon you add them together and set them equal to 20x+ x-3 +x-4 = 20  3x - 7= 20  3x= 27  x= 9  the shortest piece is the third piece which is x- 4  x-4  9-4 = 5  the length of the smallest piece is 5 cm.  the other lengths are  9 cm  6 cm
