This is my problem: 3 equations in 3 variables.
2x-y-z=7
x-y+z=2
x+y-3z=5[/u
I know we have to add two equations together and eliminate Z. I have done it in 3 different combinations and could only eliminate Z in one Equation.
1)2x-y-z+7
2)x-y+z=2
3x-2y=9
2)x-y+z=2
3)x+y-3z=5
2x-2z=7
1)2x-y-z=7
3)x+y-3z=5
3x-4z=12
Where do I go from here? I know I only need two of the but can't get rid of Z. Thank you for you help and Patience.
