Q. Solve the system of equations by substitution.\newlinex3yz=16x - 3y - z = 16\newline2x+3y2z=17-2x + 3y - 2z = -17\newlinez=3z = 3
  1. Substitute z=3z = 3: Substitute z=3z = 3 into the first equation x3yz=16x - 3y - z = 16.\newlinex3y3=16x - 3y - 3 = 16\newlinex3y=19x - 3y = 19
  2. Substitute z=3z = 3: Substitute z=3z = 3 into the second equation 2x+3y2z=17-2x + 3y - 2z = -17.\newline2x+3y2×3=17-2x + 3y - 2\times3 = -17\newline2x+3y6=17-2x + 3y - 6 = -17\newline2x+3y=11-2x + 3y = -11
  3. Two Equations with Two Variables: Now we have two equations with two variables:\newline11) x3y=19x - 3y = 19\newline22) 2x+3y=11-2x + 3y = -11\newlineAdd the two equations to eliminate yy.\newline(x3y)+(2x+3y)=19+(11)(x - 3y) + (-2x + 3y) = 19 + (-11)\newlinex2x=8x - 2x = 8\newlinex=8-x = 8\newlinex=8x = -8
