Q. Solve the system of equations by substitution.\newline2x+y2z=102x + y - 2z = -10\newline2x+yz=112x + y - z = -11\newlinex=9x = -9
  1. Substitute x=9x = -9: Substitute x=9x = -9 into the second equation 2x+yz=112x + y - z = -11.\newline2(9)+yz=112(-9) + y - z = -11\newline18+yz=11-18 + y - z = -11\newlineyz=7y - z = 7
  2. Substitute x=9x = -9: Substitute x=9x = -9 into the first equation 2x+y2z=102x + y - 2z = -10.\newline2(9)+y2z=102(-9) + y - 2z = -10\newline18+y2z=10-18 + y - 2z = -10\newliney2z=8y - 2z = 8
  3. Subtract equations: Subtract the equation from Step 11 yz=7y - z = 7 from the equation in Step 22 y2z=8y - 2z = 8.(y2z)(yz)=87(y - 2z) - (y - z) = 8 - 7y2zy+z=1y - 2z - y + z = 1z=1-z = 1
  4. Solve for z: Solve for z.\newlinez=1-z = 1\newlineMultiply both sides by 1-1.\newlinez=1z = -1
  5. Substitute z=1z = -1: Substitute z=1z = -1 into the equation from Step 11 (yz=7y - z = 7).\newliney(1)=7y - (-1) = 7\newliney+1=7y + 1 = 7\newliney=6y = 6
