Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:C. x=33/10 , y=-3/5, z=1/10.Step-by-step explanation:6x+15y+12z=12 (A)3x-9y-3z=15 (B) 3x+12y+3z=3 (C)Subtract B - C to eliminate the term in x:-21y - 6z = 12 (D) Now multiply B by 2:6x - 18y - 6z = 30 (E) A - E will eliminate x: 33y + 18z = -18 (F)Now solve equations (D) and (F):-21y - 6z = 12 Multiply this by 3: -63y - 18z = 36 (G)G + F will eliminate z:-30y = 18y = -18/30 = -3/5.So substituting for y-21(-3/5) - 6z = 12-6z = 12 - 63/5 = -3/5z = 1/10Finally we substitute the values of y and z in equation A to find x:6x+15(-3/5)+12(1/10)=12 6x - 9 + 1.2 = 126x = 19.8x = 3.3 = 33/10.
