Solve for x, z,y
-x + y + 3z = -3
x - 2y - 2z = 8
3x - y - 4z = 6

x = 2, y = -4 , z = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

-x + y + 3z = -3 - - - - - - - - - - 1

x - 2y - 2z = 8 - - - - - - -- - - - 2

3x - y - 4z = 6 - - - - - - - - - - - - - 3

Let us use the method of elimination

We would add equation 1 to equation 2. It becomes

-y+z= 5 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -4

Multiply equation 2 by 3 and equation 3 by 1

3x - 6y -6z = 24- - - - - - - - - - 5

3x - y - 4z = 6 - - - - - - - - - - - - -6

Subtracting equation 6 from equation 5

-5y -2z = 18 - - - - - - - - - - 7

Substituting z = 5 + y into equation 7, it becomes

-5y -2(5+y) = 18

-5y -10-2y = 18

-5y -2y = 18+10

-7y = 28

y = 28/-7 = -4

z = 5 + y

z = 5 -4 = 1

We would substitute y = -4 and z = 1 into equation 2

It becomes

x - 2×-4 - 2×1 = 8

x+8-2 = 8

x +6 = 8

x = 8-6 = 2

x = 2, y = -4 , z = 1

Let us check by substituting the value into equation 1

-x + y + 3z = -3

-2-4+ 3= -3

-6 + 3 = -3

-3 = -3
