x+3y-2z=10, -x-2y+z=-7, 3x+9y-5z=28
hmm
what you do is try to eliminate 1 variable in 2 equaions first
we can elminate x's in first and 2nd equation
add first and 2nd equation
x+3y-2z=10
-x-2y+z=-7 +
0x+y-z=3
y-z=3
multiply 2nd equation by 3 and add to last one
-3x-6y+3z=-21
3x+9y-5z=28 +
0x+3y-2z=7
3y-2z=7
we now have
y-z=3
3y-2z=7
multiply first equation by -2 and add to 2nd
-2y+2z=-6
3y-2z=7 +
y+0z=1
y=1
now we can sub back
y-z=3
1-z=3
minus 1
-z=2
times -1
z=-2
sub baack into any equation
x+3(1)-2(-2)=10
x+3+4=10
x+7=10
minus 7
x=3
x=3
y=1
z=-2
(3,1,-2)
\(\displaystyle \\
~~~~x+3y-2z=10 ~~~~~(E_1)\\
-x-2y+z=-7 ~~~~~(E_2)\\
~~3x+9y-5z=28~~~~~(E_3) \\
\text{- - - - - } \\
E_1 + E_2 ~~\Longrightarrow~~y - z = 3 \\ \\
-3 \times E_1 + E3 ~~\Longrightarrow~~ z = -2 \\ \\
\Longrightarrow\Longrightarrow\Longrightarrow \\ \\
y-z=3\\
z = \boxed{-2}\\
\text{- - - - - }\\
y-(-2)=3\\
y+2=3\\
y =3-2=\boxed{1}\\
\text{- - - - - }\\
x+3y-2z=10\\
x+3\cdot 1-2\cdot (-2)=10\\
x+3+4=10\\
x+7=10\\
x= 10 - 7 = \boxed{3}\)
