How do you solve the following linear system: 2xy+3z=7,5x4y2z=3,4x+y2z=4?

1 Answer

x=1781
y=11081
z=4727

Explanation:

Let 2xy+3z=7 1st equation
Let 5x4y2z=3 2nd equation
Let 4x+y2z=4 3rd equation

Use 3rd equation so that y in terms of x and z

y=4+2z4x 3rd equation

Use now 1st and 3rd
2xy+3z=7 1st equation
2x(4+2z4x)+3z=7

2x+42z+4x+3z=7
2x+4x2z+3z=74
6x+z=3 Let this be the 4th equation

Use 2nd and 3rd equations:

5x4y2z=3 2nd equation

5x4(4+2z4x)2z=3
5x+168z+16x2z=3
5x+16x8z2z=316
21x10z=13 Let this be the 5th equation

Solve for x and z using 4th and 5th equations

From 4th equation: z=36x insert in 5th equation

21x10z=13 5th equation

21x10(36x)=13

21x30+60x=13

81x=3013
81x=17
x=1781

Go back to the 4th equation , use x=1781

From 4th equation: z=36x
z=361781

z=4727
Go back to the 3rd equation and use x=1781 and z=4727

y=4+2z4x 3rd equation
y=4+2472741781
y=11081

The solution set:

x=1781
y=11081
z=4727

have a nice day from the Philippines!
