5x - 2y + 1z = 8 ⇒ 5x - 2y + 1z = 8
-9x + 2y + 2z = 5 ⇒ -9x + 2y + 2z = 5
-9x - 2y - 5z = 4 -4x + 3z = 13
5x - 2y + 1z = 8
-9x + 2y + 2z = 5 ⇒ -9x + 2y + 2z = 5
-9z - 2y - 5z = 4 ⇒ -9x - 2y - 5z = 4
-18x - 3z = 9
-4x + 3z = 13
-18x - 3z = 9
-22x = 22
-22 -22
x = -1
-18x - 3z = 9
-18(-1) - 3z = 9
18 - 3z = 9
- 18 - 18
-3z = -9
-3 -3
z = 3
5x - 2y + z = 8
5(-1) - 2y + 3 = 8
-5 - 2y + 3 = 8
-2y - 5 + 3 = 8
-2y - 2 = 8

-2y = 10

y = -5
(x, y, z) = (-1, -5, 3)

Answer: x-2y = -8</h3>
===========================================
Explanation:
Multiply both sides by 2 to clear out the fraction
y = (1/2)x+4
2y = 2[ (1/2)x + 4 ]
2y = 2*(1/2)x + 2*4
2y = x + 8
Then move the x term over to the left side
2y = x+8
2y-x = 8
-x+2y = 8
Optionally we can multiply both sides by -1
-x+2y = 8
-1*(-x+2y) = -1*8
x-2y = -8
This is in standard form Ax+By = C with A = 1, B = -2, C = -8
The reason why I multiplied both sides by -1 was to make A > 0 which is what some textbooks use as convention. Of course -x+2y = 8 is equally valid too.
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
8/3, or 2 if you want a whole number
Step-by-step explanation:
Well, the simple answer is 2/(3/4). This is nothing but 2*4/3, which is just 8/3. (I used the theorem that states that dividing is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal)
