Answer:

  (x, y, z) = (-2, 4, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving the last equation first, we have ...

  2x = -4

  x = -2 . . . . . divide by 2

__

Putting this in the first equation, we can write an expression for z:

  -2 +y +z = 2

  z = 4 -y . . . . . . . add 2-y

__

Putting this in the second equation, we have ...

  4(-2) +5y +(4 -y) = 12

  -4 +4y = 12

  -1 + y = 3 . . . . . divide by 4

  y = 4 . . . . . . . . add 1

__

Substituting this into the equation for z, we have ...

  z = 4 - 4 = 0

The solution is (x, y, z) = (-2, 4, 0).

Answer:

X+y+z=2 equation 1

4x + 5y + z = 12 equation 2

2x = -4 equation 3

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1 :

from equation 3 : 2x = -4

x= -4/2 = -2

step 2:

sub value x = -2 in equation 1

y + z = 4 _______ equation 4

step 3:

sub value of x in equation 3

5y + z = 20 _________ equation 4

solve equation 3 and 4

y + z = 4

5y + z = 20 sign change

__(-)_________

-4y = -16

__________

y = 4

substitute x = -2 & y = 4 in equation 1

z = 0

Hence x = -2 , y = 4 & z = 0
