Answer:

  • 2y -3z = 12
  • -3y -8z = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

(1) +(2) ⇒ (x -y -2z) +(-x +3y -z) = (4) +(8)

  2y -3z = 12

__

2(1) +(3) ⇒ 2(x -y -2z) +(-2x -y -4z) = 2(4) +(-1)

  -3y -8z = 7

___

The reduced system of equations is ...

  • 2y -3z = 12
  • -3y -8z = 7

Answer:

2y - 3z = 12.

-3y - 8z = 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

x - y - 2z = 4     (1)

-x + 3y - z = 8    (2)

-2x - y - 4z = -1   (3)

Adding (1) + (2):

2y - 3z = 12.

2 * (1) + (3) gives:

-3y - 8z = 7.
