The question was:
What is the solution to the following system
x-y+z=-1
x+y+3z=-3
2x-y+2z=0
Both bots got it wrong. The correct solution is (4,2,-3)
It seems that both bots were mistaken in their response to the given system of equations. The correct solution to the system:
x - y + z = -1
x + y + 3z = -3
2x - y + 2z = 0
is indeed (4, 2, -3).
To find the solution to the given system of equations, we can solve it using the method of elimination or substitution. Let's use the method of elimination.
Step 1: Start by adding the first and second equations together to eliminate the variable y:
(x - y + z) + (x + y + 3z) = (-1) + (-3)
2x + 4z = -4 ------> Equation (1)
Step 2: Multiply the third equation by 2 and add it to the first equation to eliminate the variable y:
(2x - y + 2z) + 2(2x - y + 2z) = 0 + 0
4x + 2z = 0 ------> Equation (2)
Step 3: Now, we have a system of two equations:
2x + 4z = -4 ------> Equation (1)
4x + 2z = 0 ------> Equation (2)
Step 4: Multiply Equation (2) by -2 and add it to Equation (1) to eliminate the variable x:
(-2)(4x + 2z) + (2x + 4z) = 0 + (-4)
-8x - 4z + 2x + 4z = -4
-6x = -4
x = -4 / -6
x = 2/3
Step 5: Substitute the value of x back into Equation (2) to find the value of z:
4(2/3) + 2z = 0
8/3 + 2z = 0
2z = -8/3
z = (-8/3) / 2
z = -8/6
z = -4/3
Step 6: Substitute the values of x and z back into Equation (1) to find the value of y:
2(2/3) + 4(-4/3) = -4
4/3 - 16/3 = -4
-12/3 = -4
-4 = -4
So, the solution to the given system of equations is (x, y, z) = (2/3, -4, -4/3).
To find the solution to the given system of equations, we can use the method of elimination or substitution. Let's solve it using the method of elimination.
Step 1: Multiply the first equation by 2 to make the coefficient of x in the first equation match the coefficient of x in the third equation.
2(x - y + z) = 2(-1)
This simplifies to:
2x - 2y + 2z = -2
Now, we have the following system of equations:
2x - 2y + 2z = -2 ...(1)
x + y + 3z = -3 ...(2)
2x - y + 2z = 0 ...(3)
Step 2: Add equations (1) and (3) together to eliminate x.
(2x - 2y + 2z) + (2x - y + 2z) = (-2) + (0)
This simplifies to:
4x - 3y + 4z = -2
Now, we have the following system of equations:
4x - 3y + 4z = -2 ...(4)
x + y + 3z = -3 ...(2)
Step 3: Multiply equation (2) by 4 to make the coefficient of x in equation (2) match the coefficient of x in equation (4).
4(x + y + 3z) = 4(-3)
This simplifies to:
4x + 4y + 12z = -12
Now, we have the following system of equations:
4x + 4y + 12z = -12 ...(5)
4x - 3y + 4z = -2 ...(4)
Step 4: Subtract equation (4) from equation (5) to eliminate x.
(4x + 4y + 12z) - (4x - 3y + 4z) = (-12) - (-2)
This simplifies to:
7y + 8z = -10
Now, we have the following system of equations:
7y + 8z = -10 ...(6)
4x - 3y + 4z = -2 ...(4)
Step 5: Solve equations (6) and (4) simultaneously.
From equation (6), let's solve for y:
7y = -10 - 8z
y = (-10 - 8z) / 7
Substitute the value of y in equation (4):
4x - 3((-10 - 8z) / 7) + 4z = -2
Now, we have an equation with only one variable, z. Let's solve it:
Multiply through by 7 to simplify:
28x - 3(-10 - 8z) + 28z = -14
28x + 30 + 24z + 28z = -14
28x + 52z + 30 = -14
28x + 52z = -44
From this equation, we can see that we can simplify it further by dividing through by 4:
7x + 13z + 15 = -11
Now, we have the equation:
7x + 13z = -26
From these simplified equations, we can solve for x and z using various methods such as substitution or elimination, but I'll use the elimination method again to solve for x:
Multiply the equation (6) by 7 and multiply equation (4) by 13 to make the coefficients of y the same:
49y + 56z = -70 ...(7, obtained after multiplication)
52x - 39y + 52z = -26 ...(8, obtained after multiplication)
Now, subtract equation (7) from equation (8) to eliminate y:
(52x - 39y + 52z) - (49y + 56z) = (-26) - (-70)
This simplifies to:
52x - 88z = 44
Now, we have the following equation:
52x - 88z = 44
Simplifying this equation further, we can divide through by 4:
13x - 22z = 11
Now, we have the simplified equation:
13x - 22z = 11
Now, we have a system of two equations:
7x + 13z = -26 ...(9)
13x - 22z = 11 ...(10)
Using the elimination method, multiply equation (9) by 13 and multiply equation (10) by 7 to make the coefficients of x the same:
91x + 169z = -338 ...(11, obtained after multiplication)
91x - 154z = 77 ...(12, obtained after multiplication)
Now, subtract equation (12) from equation (11) to eliminate x:
(91x + 169z) - (91x - 154z) = (-338) - 77
This simplifies to:
323z = -415
Now, solve for z:
z = -415 / 323
By plugging the value of z back into equation (9) or (10), you can solve for the value of x. Once you have found x and z, you can substitute their values back into any of the original equations to solve for y.
