Question

solve the system of equations. If the systemof equations is dependent then set one of the variables equal tothe real number c, and express the other variables in terms ofc.

{2x -3y+z= 5
5x-7y-3z=-12
state whether independent dependent or in consistent

Explanation / Answer

There are two equations and three variables. The systemis dependent. Set z=C. Then, 2x - 3y + C = 5
5x - 7y - 3C= -12 2x - 3y = 5 - C
5x - 7y = -12+ 3C 10x - 15y = 25 - 5C
10x - 14y = -24 + 6C
y = -49 + 11C 2x - 3(-49+11C) =5 - C 2x + 147 - 33C = 5 - C 2x = -147 + 5 +33C - C 2x = -142 + 32C x = -71 + 16C
