Solve the system of equations using substitution. Write your answer as an ordered triple in the form (x, y, z). X+ y + z = 2
4x + 5y + z = 12
2x = -4

  (x, y, z) = (-2, 4, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving the last equation first, we have ...

  2x = -4

  x = -2 . . . . . divide by 2

__

Putting this in the first equation, we can write an expression for z:

  -2 +y +z = 2

  z = 4 -y . . . . . . . add 2-y

__

Putting this in the second equation, we have ...

  4(-2) +5y +(4 -y) = 12

  -4 +4y = 12

  -1 + y = 3 . . . . . divide by 4

  y = 4 . . . . . . . . add 1

__

Substituting this into the equation for z, we have ...

  z = 4 - 4 = 0

The solution is (x, y, z) = (-2, 4, 0).

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions
