I'd suggest using "elimination by addition and subtraction" here, altho' there are other approaches (such as matrices, substitution, etc.).
Note that if you add the 3rd equation to the second, the x terms cancel out, and you are left with the system
- y + 3z = -2
y + z = -2
-----------------
4z = -4, so z = -1.
Next, multiply the 3rd equation by 2: You'll get -2x + 2y + 2z = -2.
Add this result to the first equation. The 2x terms will cancel, leaving you with the system
2y + 2z = -2
y + z = 4
This would be a good time to subst. -1 for z. We then get:
-2y - 2 = -2. Then y must be 0. y = 0.
Now subst. -1 for z and 0 for y in any of the original equations.
For example, x - (-1) + 3(0) = -2, so x + 1 = -2, or x = -3.
Then a tentative solution is (-3, -1, 0).
It's very important that you ensure that this satisfies all 3 of the originale quations.
I believe its 16...
48 divided by 3!
hope this helps!

We can find the equation in the point slope form, which is given by,
We substitute the point and slope to get,
We can also simplify further to get,
We make y the subject to get,
This is called the slope intercept form.
We could also write in standard form to get

Answer:
33
Step-by-step explanation:
let's call the number 2x
then half of it will be x
if x > 16
smallest this number can be is 33
