Walls · Answer 1

Equation 1 : x + y + z = 3.25

equation 2 : 12x + 2y + z = 9.50

equation 3 : 2x + 4y + 5z = ?

u would multiply equation 1 by - 12 ... take that result and add it to equation 2 ... this eliminates x.

u would multiply equation 3 by - 6 ... take that result and add it to equation 2 ... this eliminates x
