QUESTION 1

−𝑥𝑥 + 4𝑦𝑦 + 2𝑧𝑧 = 8 …………………. (i)

3𝑥𝑥 − 𝑦𝑦 + 4𝑧𝑧 = −1 ……………….… (ii)

2𝑥𝑥 + 3𝑦𝑦 − 𝑧𝑧 = 14……….……….… (iii)

Step 1: Eliminate 𝑥𝑥 from equations (i) and (ii) by multiplying (i) by 3.

−3𝑥𝑥 + 12𝑦𝑦 + 6𝑧𝑧 = 24

+ 3𝑥𝑥 − 𝑦𝑦 + 4𝑧𝑧 = −1

11𝑦𝑦 + 10𝑧𝑧 = 23 …………….....(iv)

Step 2: Eliminate 𝑥𝑥 from equations (i) and (iii) by multiplying (i) by 2.

−2𝑥𝑥 + 8𝑦𝑦 + 4𝑧𝑧 = 16

(+)2𝑥𝑥 + 3𝑦𝑦 − 𝑧𝑧 = 14

11𝑦𝑦 + 3𝑧𝑧 = 30…………………..(v)

Step 3: Solve equations (iv) and (v) simultaneously.

11𝑦𝑦 + 10𝑧𝑧 = 23 Eliminate 𝑦𝑦 when 𝑧𝑧 = −1:

−11𝑦𝑦 + 3𝑧𝑧 = 30 11𝑦𝑦 + 10(−1) = 23

7𝑧𝑧 = −7 11𝑦𝑦 = 33

𝑧𝑧 = −1 𝑦𝑦 = 3

Step 4: Substitute the values of 𝑦𝑦 and 𝑧𝑧 in equation (ii) to find 𝑦𝑦.

2𝑥𝑥 + 3𝑦𝑦 − 𝑧𝑧 = 14

2𝑥𝑥 + 3(3) − (-1) = 14

2𝑥𝑥 + 10 = 14

2𝑥𝑥 = 4

𝑥𝑥 = 2

Therefore 𝒙𝒙 = 2, 𝒚𝒚 = 3 and 𝒛𝒛 = −1 Ans
