How to do these
Solve , and
- Add the first two to remove y.
- Add the first and third to remove z.
- That leaves two equations in two unknowns.
The answer is .
Where students go wrong
Eliminating a different variable each time. If the first pair removes y, the second pair has to remove y as well, or you end up with two equations in three unknowns and no way forward.
Also called three variable systems, systems in three variables or solving for x y and z.
