Example Question #131 : Equations
Solve this system of equations.
Possible Answers:
,
,
,
,
,
,
,
,
,
,
Correct answer:
,
,
Explanation:
Equation 1:
Equation 2:
Equation 3:
Adding the terms of the first and second equations together will yield .
Then, add that to the third equation so that the y and z terms are eliminated. You will get .
This tells us that x = 1. Plug this x = 1 back into the systems of equations.
Now, we can do the rest of the problem by using the substitution method. We'll take the third equation and use it to solve for y.
Plug this y-equation into the first equation (or second equation; it doesn't matter) to solve for z.
We can use this z value to find y
So the solution set is x = 1, y = 2, and z = –5/3.

Example Question #1 : Solving Equations
Solve for :
Possible Answers:
Correct answer:
Explanation:
Distribute the x through the parentheses:
x2 –2x = x2 – 8
Subtract x2 from both sides:
–2x = –8
Divide both sides by –2:
x = 4
