Solve each system of three linear equations. Show all your work clearly.
1. Solve the following system of equations: x + y + z = 6 2x - y + 3z = 11 -x + 2y - z = 2
2. When solving a system of three equations, the first step is often to eliminate one variable from two pairs of equations, reducing the system to two equations with variables.
3. A system of three linear equations can have a unique solution, solutions, or no solution.
4. Which of the following methods is NOT typically used to solve a system of three linear equations?
Substitution
Elimination
Graphing on a 2D plane
Matrix methods
5. Solve the system: 3x - y + 2z = 9 x + 2y - z = 4 2x - 3y + 3z = 5
6. A system of three equations always has a unique solution.
True
False
7. Find the values of a, b, and c such that the system has a solution of (1, 2, -1): ax + by + cz = 1 2ax - by + 3cz = -7 -ax + 2by - cz = 8
