Question

Consider the given system.

4x+4y+4z=4

12x+13y+14z = 15

8x+9y+10z=11

The system is a (n)______system and has ______solution(s).  The solution for the system is__________.

Answer 1

Double 1st eqn: 8x+8y+8z=8 and subtract from 3rd: y+2z=3, so y=3-2z.

Substitute for y in 2nd and 3rd eqns: 12x+13(3-2z)+14z=15, 12x+39-12z=15, 12(x-z)=-24, x-z=-2, x=z-2.

Divide 1st eqn by 4: x+y+z=1 and substitute for x and y: z-2+3-2z+z=1, 1=1, implying many solutions.

Check: set z=0, then x=-2, y=3. 1st eqn valid; 2nd eqn valid; 3rd eqn valid. Set z=2, then x=0, y=-1. 1st eqn valid; 2nd eqn valid; 3rd eqn valid.

So the system is 3-variable, has many solutions and given z, x=z-2 and y=3-2z.
